Doddanekundi is an upcoming elevated metro station on the North-South corridor of the Blue Line[1] of Namma Metro in Bangalore, India. This metro station serves IT companies such as Amazon Web Services, Lenovo India, and Qualcomm, in addition to Bagmane Constellation Business Park, Rainbow Children's Hospital and DJ Sports Complex in South Bengaluru. This metro station is slated to become operational around June 2026.[2][3][4][5]

History

[edit]

In December 2019, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) invited bids for the construction of the Doddanekundi metro station, part of the 8.377 km Reach 2A – Package 2 (Kodibeesanahalli - Krishnarajapura) of the 18.236 km Blue Line of Namma Metro. On 13 October 2020, Shankaranarayana Constructions (SNC) was chosen as the lowest bidder for this segment, with their proposal closely matching the initial cost estimates. [6] As a result, the contract was awarded to the company, which led to the beginning of the construction works of this metro station as per the agreed terms.
