Bangalore Metro — History, Facts & Expansion Plan
- Namma Metro, also known as Bengaluru Metro, is a rapid transit system serving the city of Bengaluru, India.
- The State Town Planning Department first recommended a mass rapid transit project, i.e., a metro for Bangalore city, way back in 1977.
- As per suggestions, Southern Railway (SR) was appointed to study the metro in 1981. The team recommended a 2-corridor metro spanning 48 km (30 mi).
- In 1993, the State of Karnataka established another committee to look into mass rapid transit, but the same suggestions were recommended by this team.
- Afterward, the state created Bangalore Mass Rapid Transit Ltd (BMRTL) in 1994 to propose a Metro network spanning 100 km on six routes.
- The Government of Karnataka commissioned the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) and DMRC prepared and submitted the detailed project report (DPR) for the first phase of Namma Metro in May 2003.
- The project was approved by the Union Cabinet on 25 April 2006.
- The foundation stone for Phase 1 construction was laid by then Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh on 24 June 2006.
