Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is set to start tunneling work on the new Green line extension to add 6.29 km to the existing 24.2 km stretch covering Nagasandra to Yelachenalli areas on the metro line. It has also decided to add 6.465 km to the existing Purple Line, which is 18.1 km from Mysuru Road station to Baiyappanahalli and has procured two tunnel-boring machines to construct tunnels from Dairy Circle to Nagawara covering 14 km. Managing Director Ajay Seth said that it is also commencing commercial operations on the extended metro line on Kanakpura Road and Mysuru Road as per schedule. The extended Green Line (Yelachenahalli to Anjanapura) will become functional from August 15, Independence Day, and the extended Purple Line (Mysuru Road to Kengeri) from November 1, the day of Karnataka Rajyostava. In addition to this, it is also prepared to stave off the challenges of land acquisition as in case the acquisition of NICE land gets delayed, the existing depots at Peenya on Green Line and Baiyappanahlli on Purple Line will be used for commencing regular operations.
