Bengaluru Plans Rs 25 Bn Rail Terminal in Devanahalli

Bengaluru is set to embark on a transformative infrastructure project with the development of a mega rail terminal in Devanahalli, a move aimed at alleviating congestion in the city's major railway stations. With an estimated budget of Rs 25 billion, this ambitious initiative underscores the city's commitment to enhancing its transportation network and addressing the growing demands of commuters.

The proposed rail terminal in Devanahalli is strategically positioned to serve as a major transportation hub, catering to both domestic and international travellers. It is expected to play a crucial role in decongesting existing railway stations in Bengaluru, which have been grappling with overcrowding and logistical challenges due to rapid urbanisation and increasing passenger traffic.

The project envisions state-of-the-art facilities and amenities, including modern passenger terminals, robust connectivity infrastructure, and integrated transit services. Furthermore, the Devanahalli terminal is poised to stimulate economic growth and development in the surrounding areas, potentially transforming it into a vibrant commercial and residential hub.

The development of this mega rail terminal aligns with Bengaluru's vision of becoming a world-class city with efficient and sustainable transportation systems. By investing in critical infrastructure projects like the Devanahalli terminal, the city aims to enhance connectivity, improve mobility, and enhance the overall quality of life for its residents.

Moreover, the Devanahalli rail terminal is expected to bolster regional connectivity and facilitate seamless travel between Bengaluru and other parts of Karnataka and neighbouring states. It represents a significant step forward in the city's efforts to modernise its transportation infrastructure and position itself as a leading economic and cultural centre in the region.
