Bengaluru Metro Phase 4 Plans 215-Km Expansion Prioritizing Suburban Connectivity
Bengaluru Metro plans a 215-km expansion under Phase 4, focusing on eight corridors extending to suburban and peripheral areas like Tumakuru, Bidadi, Harohalli, Attibele, Hoskote, and Devanahalli. However, key routes within the Greater Bengaluru Authority, including the fully underground Inner Ring Metro designed to ease core city congestion, are not prioritized. Experts note this may leave central Bengaluru's congested areas underserved, as the expansion emphasizes developing outskirts over the city's core connectivity. The proposed corridors are yet to be finalized or approved.
