BMRCL plans first underground depot in Baiyappanahalli

Namma Metro has proposed to build an underground depot in Baiyappanahalli.

Though the metro has previously built underground lines, this is the first time it has ever designed a depot. The project consisting of 14 stabling lines below the ground and 14 lines at grade is expected to serve trains operating on the Outer Ring Road (ORR).

The new stabling lines — 28 in total — will come up exactly in the 25-acre depot with 16 stabling lines. The existing yard will be torn down to build the new two-tier facility.
