Centre Reviews Bengaluru Namma Metro Red Line Project Without Specified Approval Timeline
The Union government has stated that it cannot provide a timeline for approving Bengaluru's Namma Metro Red Line (Phase 3A) connecting Hebbal and Sarjapur, as the Detailed Project Report (DPR) is still under detailed appraisal. Despite nearly two years of revisions by the Karnataka government and Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited to reduce costs and address concerns, the project awaits clearance based on technical feasibility, financial viability, and fund availability under the Metro Rail Policy, 2017. The corridor aims to connect key commercial and residential areas, including Koramangala and the Central Business District.
