Feasibility Study Submitted for Bengaluru's 73-km Metro Corridor Including Stadium Spur

A feasibility study for Bengaluru's longest metro corridor, a 73-km elevated line from Kalena Agrahara to Kadugodi Tree Park, has been prepared by Introsoft Solutions Pvt Ltd for BMRCL and submitted to the Karnataka government. The line will connect southern and eastern tech suburbs, featuring over 50 stations spaced further apart. A 5-km spur will link directly to a proposed international sports complex in Anekal, including an 80,000-seat cricket stadium. Construction could start around 2029, with completion expected in five to ten years.
