History

[edit]

In June 2017, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) sought bids for constructing the Venkateshpura metro station along the 4.59 km Shadi Mahal Ramp - North Ramp stretch of the 21.25 km Pink Line of Namma Metro. In November 2019, ITD Cementation India emerged as the lowest bidder for this stretch which aligned closely with the original estimate, thus leading to successful award for this company. They commenced the construction of this metro station as per the agreements.
