BMRCL plans construction of 32.2-kilometer Orange Line
Identifies 700 properties along ORR for acquisition
Estimated cost for acquiring these properties is Rs 1,900 crore
Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) has disclosed plans for the construction of the 32.2-kilometer Orange Line as part of Phase III.
It has identified more than 700 properties along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) stretch from Kempapura to JP Nagar IV Phase. These properties are essential for the establishment of Metro stations, viaduct construction, and interchange facilities with other transportation modes. The estimated cost for acquiring these properties is Rs 1,900 crore.
A joint survey to pinpoint suitable land for the elevated corridor is slated to commence next week. BMRCL intends to acquire the identified properties in three phases, initiating the process with the issuance of the first preliminary notification within two months.
The proposed Orange Line will feature interchange facilities with both operational and upcoming Metro stations, as well as with other transport modes. Notably, it will link with the Blue Line at Kempapura and Hebbal, with the interchange facility at Hebbal Junction extending connections to the suburban rail and Phase III A line of Namma Metro. Other interchanges include connections to the Green Line at Peenya station, the Purple Line at Nayandahalli Metro flyover, and various stations along Tumakuru Road, Kanakapura Road, and Bannerghatta Road.
BMRCL also disclosed plans to study the feasibility of constructing a road-cum-Metro flyover along the entire corridor, alongside proposed flyovers at Kanakapura Road to Sarakki and Ittamadu to Hosakerehalli.
However, officials reportedly asserted that any potential adjustments to the land acquisition plan would likely be minimal, primarily focused on additional land requirements for Metro station construction.
