The Bangalore Metro is swiftly expanding its network to enhance city connectivity. As the first southern Indian city with metro rail, it now spans most urban areas. Managed by the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), a collaboration between India's central and Karnataka state governments, the network is strategically divided into phases for ongoing extensions. As of October 2023, the Purple Line was unveiled, bridging Challaghatta to Kadugodi (Whitefield), effectively linking the city's east and west. This segment features 37 stations, enabling travel across the stretch in about 80 minutes. In an ambitious move, Phase 4 outlines a 129 km network augmentation aimed at enhancing suburban and remote connectivity, albeit some routes diverge from the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) devised in 2020 by BMRCL. Concurrently, Namma Metro's Phase 3 is anticipated to initiate construction within the year, comprising three corridors totaling 81.12 km, with routes extending from Hebbal to JP Nagar, among other places. Future extensions aim at integrating outlying towns like Doddaballapur, Nelamangala, Devanahalli, and Hoskote into the metro grid. Overall, these developments are projected to elevate the metro network to 314 km by 2041, ensuring extensive transit solutions for Bangalore residents.
