Bengaluru Metro stations to get Rs 100 crore boost

Bengaluru’s Namma Metro stations will soon undergo a major facelift as part of a ?100 crore development plan, a project spearheaded by BMRCL in collaboration with Tata Realty. The initiative is part of BMRCL's effort to enhance infrastructure and improve commuter experiences at metro stations across the city. This public-private partnership aims to ensure that stations are equipped with modern facilities, more spacious platforms, and improved accessibility to cater to the growing number of metro users.

The project will focus on integrating commercial spaces at select metro stations, bringing in retail outlets, eateries, and other amenities to make them multi-functional hubs. Tata Realty has committed to developing these commercial areas, ensuring that the stations not only serve transportation needs but also become attractive spots for business and leisure. The stations will also see upgrades in passenger amenities such as improved waiting areas, better lighting, enhanced safety features, and digital boards for real-time updates. Additionally, BMRCL plans to install solar panels at these stations as part of its green initiative, aiming to make metro services more sustainable.

This move comes as Bengaluru's metro network continues to expand, with newer lines under construction and extensions planned to connect more areas. The development project is expected to elevate the overall commuter experience, making Namma Metro a more attractive option for daily travel. The modernization of stations is also intended to accommodate the city's rapidly growing population and the rising number of metro users, especially as Bengaluru continues to face traffic congestion issues.

Once completed, the revamped metro stations are expected to significantly boost footfall, provide better services to passengers, and contribute to the city’s infrastructure development.
