Railway Board Approves Survey for 4th Terminal Near Bengaluru

20 May 2025 CW Team

The Railway Board has approved a Final Location Survey for a mega coaching terminal near Bengaluru airport. The proposed terminal, to be located near Devanahalli or along the Yelahanka–Devanahalli–Chikkaballapur route, is estimated to cost Rs 13.5 million.

According to South Western Railway, the new terminal will decongest Bengaluru’s overburdened railway infrastructure and meet growing passenger demand. It will serve as the fourth terminal, offering operational flexibility and capacity to handle thirty-six rakes daily.

The design includes twelve pit lines, five washing lines, twenty-four stabling lines, six heavy repair bays, two pit wheel lathe lines, and six sick lines. Supporting facilities will feature locomotive bays, a fifty-tonne boot laundry, administrative blocks, and storage units.

Bengaluru, home to around eleven point five million people, is India’s fifth most populous city. Its current network—comprising KSR Bengaluru, Yeswantpur, and SMVT Bengaluru—operates near full capacity, managing over four hundred train movements daily.

The region faces significant operational bottlenecks, including limited pit lines, overcrowding, delays, and insufficient stabling infrastructure. The new terminal is a critical step toward long-term railway infrastructure relief in the city.
