Electronic City - II is an upcoming elevated metro station on the Yellow Line of the Namma Metro in southern Bengaluru, India, being built to serve the Information technology hub in Anekal suburb. This will be the first metro station in the Namma Metro network to feature Platform screen doors (PSDs).[1]

Alongside the metro station is the Electronic City Elevated Expressway connecting Central Silk Board to Electronic City, including the Infosys campus and Wipro Floating Learning Centre. To the north, the Yellow Line will lead to Konappana Agrahara and to the south to Bommasandra, Attibele and Hosur, an industrial city in Tamil Nadu.

As per latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational between 2nd & 4th weeks of January 2025[2] due to lots of trial runs along with more trainsets which are needed for commencement of operations.[3][4][5][6][7]

History

[edit]

In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Electronic City metro station along the 6.418 km Reach 5 – Package 1 section (Bommasandra - Hosa Road) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 March 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.[8] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
