Namma Metro Nears Finalization of Land Acquisition for Phase 3

14 Aug 2024 CW Team

Phase 3 of Namma Metro will cover approximately 105 kilometres, adding new routes and extending existing ones. The project is designed to ease traffic congestion, reduce travel time, and provide a reliable alternative to road transport in the rapidly growing metropolis. Key corridors in this phase include routes that connect important residential and commercial areas, making daily commutes more convenient for millions of Bengaluru residents.

The land acquisition process, a critical step in the project's execution, has been progressing steadily. BMRCL has been engaging with landowners and local authorities to ensure a smooth and fair acquisition process. The corporation is also focusing on minimising displacement and providing adequate compensation to those affected.

Once the land acquisition is complete, BMRCL will move forward with construction, which is expected to be challenging given the city's dense urban environment. However, the successful completion of this phase is expected to significantly enhance the metro's coverage, linking more neighbourhoods to the city's central business districts and other key areas.

Phase 3 of Namma Metro is a crucial component of Bengaluru's broader transportation strategy, aimed at developing a comprehensive and sustainable urban transit system. The project is expected to play a key role in mitigating the city's notorious traffic issues and promoting the use of public transport over private vehicles, contributing to a greener and more livable city.

As BMRCL finalises the land acquisition, Bengaluru residents can look forward to a future with improved public transport options, reducing the dependency on road transport and making daily commutes faster and more efficient.
