A proposal for the construction of three additional metro lines that would span approximately 77 km is intended to add significant areas of both the city and its outskirts to the metro network. BMRCL Managing Director Anjum Parwez shared this proposal during a review meeting with Bengaluru Development Minister D K Shivakumar earlier. Additionally, an Inner Ring Road for 35-km which would run as a circle inside the Outer Ring Road and a 25-km line from Old Airport Road via Marthahalli underpass to Varthur and then Kadugodi were proposed by Parwez during the meeting. He further made presentations on the ongoing projects of BMRCL.
As per reports, as a part of Phase-3, proposals for the JP Nagar to Kempapura and Hosahalli to Kadabagere Metro lines have been submitted to the government for approval and will be commissioned by June 2026. Giving a deadline for various other metro lines, Shivakumar said that the Baiyappanahalli to K R Pura line will open by July this year, Kengeri to Challaghatta by August-September, Nagasandra to Madhavara by September-October.
