Bommanahalli (also known as Roopena Agrahara) is an upcoming elevated metro station on the North–South corridor of the Yellow Line of Namma Metro in Bangalore, India.

As per latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational between 2nd & 4th weeks of January 2025[1] due to lots of trial runs along with more trainsets which are needed for commencement of operations.[2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

History

In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Bommanahalli metro station along the 6.385 km Reach 5 – Package 2 section (Hosa Road - Bommanahalli) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 April 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.[7] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
