Hongasandra (also known as Garvebhavi Palya) is an upcoming elevated metro station on the North-South corridor of the Yellow Line of Namma Metro in Bangalore, India.

As per latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational between 2nd & 4th weeks of January 2025[1] due to lots of trial runs along with more trainsets which are needed for commencement of operations.[2][3][4][5][6]

History

[edit]

In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Hongasandra metro station along the 6.385 km Reach 5 – Package 2 section (Hosa Road - Bommanahalli) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 April 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.[7] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
