Bengaluru ORR Firms Request Delay of Road Revamp Until Metro Opens
The Outer Ring Road Companies Association (ORRCA) in Bengaluru has urged the Greater Bengaluru Authority (GBA) to delay the planned Rs 450-crore white-topping road revamp until the Namma Metro becomes operational. In a letter dated August 14, ORRCA expressed concern over the proposed October 2026 start date, citing prior agreements to sequence road works after Metro completion. The association, representing over 500 companies and 1.3 million employees, also criticized the government's suggestion of work-from-home as insufficient to address traffic disruptions.
