The proposed metro line, starting from Madavara in Bengaluru and extending to Tumakuru at a distance of 59.6 km, is estimated to cost Rs 20,896 crore and will feature 27 stations. BMRCL has given potential bidders less than one week to submit their Requests for Proposal (RFPs), with bid opening scheduled for November 21.
According to BMRCL specifications, the metro alignment will have varying station spacing depending on urban density. The Madavara-Nelamangala section will have closely-spaced stations at 1-2 kilometre intervals to serve the densely populated areas, while the Nelamangala-Tumakuru stretch may feature stations every 4-5 kilometres, reflecting the more rural character of this segment.
