History

[edit]

In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Hebbagodi metro station along the 6.418 km Reach 5 – Package 1 section (Bommasandra - Hosa Road) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 March 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.[1] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements. In 2020, Biocon Group signed an agreement with the BMRCL to contribute 65 crore towards the construction of the metro station and donated land worth 30 crore for the project. Consequently, Biocon obtained the naming rights for the station for 30 years, and the station was renamed from Hebbagodi to Biocon Hebbagodi.[2][3]

The Yellow Line began operations from 10 August 2025 and has been officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with four trainsets which are ready for operations after arriving from Titagarh Rail Systems in Kolkata.[4][5][6][7][8][9][10] The opening was delayed from May 2025 as previously announced by the Namma Metro Managing Director, Maheshwar Rao.[11][12][13]
