Baiyappanahalli Depot (U/C)
Doddajala is an upcoming elevated metro station on the North-South corridor of the Blue Line of Namma Metro in Bangalore, India. This metro station will consist of the main ITC Limited office followed by the main Navayuga Devanahalli Tollway Pvt Ltd which will lead towards Kempegowda International Airport in the form of Trumpet Interchange and towards Devanahalli, Nandi Hills, Chikkaballapur, Penukonda (Andhra Pradesh) and capital city of Telangana, Hyderabad.
This station will be considered as the depot station which will hold all Namma Metro's Blue Line trainsets for maintenance purposes. This metro station is slated to be operational around June 2026.
History
On November 17 2020, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) invited bids for the construction of the Doddajala metro station, part of the 15.011 km Reach 2B – Package 3 (Bagalur Cross - KIAL Terminals) of the 37.692 km Blue Line of Namma Metro. On September 14 2021, Nagarjuna Construction Company Ltd. (NCC Ltd.) was chosen as the lowest bidder for this segment, with their proposal closely matching the initial cost estimates. 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.
