Bengalureans residing in the southern regions of the city, particularly those in and around Electronics City, always face bottlenecks that take over two hours to get to the Devanahalli airport (KIA).We will identify the future options that may be viable through RAIL mode.
ORR- Airport Metro
The Blue Line, or ORR-Airport Metro Line, is part of the Namma Metro rail network. It consists of two sections: Phase-2A (Central Silk Board to Krishnarajapuram) and Phase-2B (Krishnarajapuram to Airport). This line will have interchanges with the Yellow Line at the Central Silk Board. The 58.19 km line connects Central Silk Board with Kempegowda International Airport.
Bengaluru’s Second Airport
As the second airport put forth by the Karnataka Infrastructure Development( KIDM ) Minister MB Patil, the preliminary decision would be near Tumakuru Road. Yellow line with interlink in RV road to Green line would be a good option for bangalore south people to travel through in future.The 3-km Nagasandra-BIEC (Green Line) Metro line is expected to become operational in a few months, the extension to Tumakuru would be critical to establish this commute.
Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project – SAMPARKA
Four independent corridors have been studied and proposed by the Rail Infrastructure Development Company. All four corridors are in significant development, and corridor 4 between Heelalige and Rajankunte, with a 49-kilometre run and 19 stations, started with civil work. The contractor will also build a double-decker alignment of 1.2 km that will accommodate the Majestic-Devanahalli and Heelalige-Rajankunte lines near Yelahanka.
Corridor 1: Sampige Line – Route: KSR Bengaluru – Yelahanka – Devanahalli
Corridor 2: Mallige Line – Route: Baiyyappanahalli Terminal – Chikkabanavara
Corridor 3: Parijaata Line – Route: Kengeri – Whitefield
Corridor 4: Kanaka Line – Route: Heelalige – Rajankunte
According to KIDM Minister M B Patil, all four corridors are expected to be ready by December 2027. Despite this, numerous obstacles have slowed the project’s progress, leaving Bengaluru residents waiting.
Hosur International Airport Proposal
The projected Hosur airport will shorten the distance to reach, Heelalige railway station connecting further may extend to Hosur, marking the critical connection, and may leverage a less than hour-long travel to the proposed Hosur International Airport. While Metro Connect between Hosur and Bommasandra metro would also be a viable solution in the future.
