Location

In 2020, Biocon Group signed an agreement with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd to contribute ₹65 crore towards the construction of the metro station and donated land worth ₹30 crore for the project. Consequently, Biocon obtained the naming rights for the station for 30 years, and the station was renamed from Hebbagodi to Biocon Hebbagodi.^[1][2]

This will also be the depot for all the Yellow Line Namma Metro trains for maintenance purposes. As per latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational around May 2025^[3][4] instead of April 2025^[5] which was announced by the Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister DK Shivakumar and with four trainsets which will be ready for operations after arriving from Titagarh Rail Systems in Kolkata.

History

In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Biocon Hebbagodi metro station along the 6.418 km Reach 5 – Package 1 section (Bommasandra - Hosa Road) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 March 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.^[6] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
