Cabinet Clears Bangalore Metro Phase 3 with Rs.156.11 Bn Allocation

The Indian Cabinet has given the green light to Phase 3 of the Bangalore Metro Rail project, sanctioning a budget of ?156.11 billion. This major infrastructure initiative aims to expand the city?s metro network, addressing the growing transportation needs of Bangalore?s rapidly increasing population.

This phase is expected to add significant mileage to the metro network, making it easier for residents to commute across the city. The project is designed to reduce traffic congestion, lower pollution levels, and provide a sustainable mode of transportation for Bangalore's citizens.

The allocated funds of ?156.11 billion will be used for various aspects of the project, including construction, procurement of advanced rolling stock, and implementation of modern technologies for efficient metro operations. This phase is part of the larger effort to make Bangalore a more accessible and connected city, supporting its role as a major IT and industrial hub.

Once completed, Bangalore Metro Phase 3 will enhance the city's public transport infrastructure, providing seamless connectivity and reducing travel time for daily commuters. The project is expected to have a positive impact on the city's economy and environment, further establishing Bangalore as a model for urban transportation in India. The government?s approval marks a significant milestone in the ongoing efforts to develop and modernise Bangalore?s public transportation system.
