Location

Agara is an upcoming elevated metro station on the North-South corridor of the Blue Line^[1] and proposed Red Line of Namma Metro in Bangalore, India. Around this metro station holds the main Agara, a major suburban area which was operated by the Madras Engineer Groups and was one of the biggest army cantonments during the British Times. This metro station is adjacent to its neighbouring localities like HSR Layout, Koramangala, Outer Ring Road and Varthur. This metro station (under Blue Line) is slated to become operational around June 2026.^[2][3][4][5]

History

Blue Line

In December 2019, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) invited bids for the construction of the Agara metro station, part of the 9.859 km Reach 2A – Package 1 section (Central Silk Board - Kodibeesanahalli) of the 18.236 km Blue Line of Namma Metro. On 13 October 2020, Afcons Infrastructure was chosen as the lowest bidder for this segment, with their proposal closely matching the initial cost estimates. ^[6] As a result, the contract was awarded to the company, which led to the beginning of the construction works of this metro station as per the agreed terms.
