More than a year after getting Karnataka government clearance, two corridors of Bengaluru Metro’s Phase 3 are expected to be approved by the Union government, reported Moneycontrol.
This approval is expected to come before the Lok Sabha elections, which experts believe will assist the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) in terms of electoral gains in the IT hub.
In November 2022, the Karnataka government approved Namma Metro’s two Phase 3 corridors totalling 44.6 kilometres– the JP Nagar 4th Phase-Kempapura stretch along ORR West (32.1 km) and the Hosahalli-Kadabagere line along Magadi Road (12.5 km). The sanction has been pending with the Union government since then.
