Overview
- Replying in the Assembly, Revenue Minister Krishna Byre Gowda said there is no proposal to extend Namma Metro beyond Kempegowda International Airport and none specifically for Doddaballapur.
- The minister stated that any new corridor must first be placed before the Comprehensive Mobility Plan expert committee for evaluation.
- The government has begun revising the CMP, and officials said the Doddaballapur request can be examined through that process, though no decision has been taken.
- Airport lines 2A and 2B are under construction with completion targeted by the end of 2027, setting near‑term priorities for the network.
- Phase 3 and 3A have been approved without a Doddaballapur link, even as local leaders cite growth tied to KWIN City and Foxconn and note an earlier draft corridor from Yelahanka via Rajanukunte that was later dropped.
