The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is set to initiate the process for acquiring properties for Namma Metro's Orange Line, linking JP Nagar 4th Phase to Kempapura. Under the first package of the project, 299 private properties have been identified for acquisition to facilitate the construction of an elevated corridor from JP Nagar 4th Phase to Mysuru Road.

The list of identified properties have been sent to Karnataka Industrial Area Development Board (KIADB), which will issue preliminary notification for acquiring the properties for Namma Metro. A BMRCL official said, "The construction of an elevated corridor for a length of 32.2km will be taken up in three packages: JP Nagar 4th Phase to Mysuru Road; Mysuru Road to Kanteerava Studio and Kanteerava Studio to Kempapura." The first package alone requires the acquisition of 299 private and 29 govt properties.

The notice is expected to be issued in a few weeks for property owners to raise objections. There are no high-rise buildings in the way of alignment but there are many commercial buildings, mostly three-storey structures.
