Funding

Estimated at Rs 16,543 crore, including land acquisition charges, the 37-km line is outlined in the Comprehensive Mobility Plan 2020. This proposed metro line is expected to ease travel for public commuting to and from tech zones.[4] The alignment involves an elevated corridor near the IT corridor in Sarjapur, transitioning underground at Koramangala, traversing the central business district through tunnels, and emerging on Ballari Road with elevated stations at Ganganagar and Hebbal.

Stations

edit

The Red Line (Hebbal-Sarjapura Line) is planned to have 28 stations.[4][5][6]
