BTM Layout is an upcoming elevated metro station on the North-South corridor of the Yellow Line of Namma Metro in Bengaluru, India.
As per latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational around May 2025[1] [2] instead of April 2025[3] which was announced by the Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister DK Shivakumar and with four trainsets which will be ready for operations after arriving from Titagarh Rail Systems in Kolkata.
History
[edit ]In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the BTM Layout metro station along the 6.340 km Reach 5 – Package 3 section (Central Silk Board - Rashtreeya Vidyalaya Road) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 16 May 2017, HCC-URC Construction JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.[4] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the joint venture, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
