Bengaluru airport halt station to be ready by August-end

The much-awaited halt station at the Kempegowda International Airport will finally become a reality by the end of August.

Speaking to reporters via video conference on Monday, Bengaluru Divisional Railway Manager (DRM) Ashok Kumar Verma said the station building, electrical works, circulating area, landscaping, platform shelter and other works had already been completed.

The railways had earlier set the March 2020 deadline for the project but the pandemic delayed it. The DRM has now promised that the project would not see any more delays. “The station will be ready for operations before the end of the month. Some of the minor works are remaining which can be completed along with operations,” he added.
