History
In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Ragigudda metro station along the 6.340 km Reach 5 – Package 3 section (Central Silk Board - Rashtreeya Vidyalaya Road) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 16 May 2017, HCC-URC Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.[1] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
The Yellow Line began operations from 10 August 2025 and has been officially inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, with four trainsets which are ready for operations after arriving from Titagarh Rail Systems in Kolkata.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8] The opening was delayed from May 2025 as announced by the Namma Metro Managing Director, Maheshwar Rao.[9][10][11]
