K-RIDE invites tenders for Bengaluru airport suburban rail corridor, aiming to enhance connectivity and streamline transit.
Bengaluru’s ambitious airport suburban rail corridor has taken a significant step forward, with the Rail Infrastructure Development Company (Karnataka) Limited (K-RIDE) inviting tenders for civil work on the crucial KSR Bengaluru City-Yelahanka section on July 27.
This section is a part of the Sampige Line, which runs from KSR Bengaluru City to Yelahanka and further connects to the Kempegowda International Airport terminal. The project aims to streamline transit to the airport and improve overall connectivity within the city.
K-RIDE, the agency responsible for executing the suburban rail project, said the 17.6 km section from KSR Bengaluru City to Yelahanka will include 14.2 km of elevated track and 3.4 km of at-grade track. This design aims to minimise land acquisition and integrate the suburban rail project smoothly with the existing urban infrastructure.
The planned stations along this section are strategically placed at KSR Bengaluru City, Srirampura, Malleshwaram, Yeshwantpur, Muthyalanagar, Lottegollahalli, Kodigehalli, Judicial Layout, and Yelahanka. These stations are expected to significantly enhance commuter convenience, offering more accessible transit options for daily travellers and airport passengers alike.
Officials have pegged the tender at ₹1,422 crore. It is expected to be finalised by October. “We have floated the tender for Package 1 after receiving the No Objection Certificate (NOC) from the European Investment Bank (EIB), which is co-financing the project,” said a K-RIDE official. “The tender for the remaining section from Yelahanka to Devanahalli, including the airport link, will be called within a month,” he said.
