Karnataka Rules Out Doddaballapur Metro Plan for Now, Points to CMP Review

Any extension will be assessed through the ongoing update of Bengaluru’s Comprehensive Mobility Plan.

Overview

  • Replying in the Assembly, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda said there is no proposal to extend Namma Metro beyond Kempegowda International Airport and none specifically for Doddaballapur.
  • The minister stated that any new corridor must first be placed before the Comprehensive Mobility Plan expert committee for evaluation.
  • The government has begun revising the CMP, and officials said the Doddaballapur request can be examined through that process, though no decision has been taken.
  • Airport lines 2A and 2B are under construction with completion targeted by the end of 2027, setting near‑term priorities for the network.
  • Phase 3 and 3A have been approved without a Doddaballapur link, even as local leaders cite growth tied to KWIN City and Foxconn and note an earlier draft corridor from Yelahanka via Rajanukunte that was later dropped.
