== History ==
In December 2019, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) invited bids for the construction of the Bellandur metro station, part of the 9.859 km Reach 2A – Package 1 section (Central Silk Board - Kodibeesanahalli) of the 18.236 km [[Blue Line (Namma Metro)|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. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2020-10-13 |title=Afcons & Shankaranarayana Win Bangalore Metro Phase 2A ORR Work |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2020/10/13/afcons-shankaranarayana-win-bangalore-metro-phase-2a-orr-work/ |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=The Metro Rail Guy |language=en-US}}</ref> 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.

=== Naming rights ===
In February 2026, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited signed a station sponsorship deal for this upcoming metro station as part of Phase 2A of [[Blue Line (Namma Metro)|Blue Line]]. As part of this scheme, [[Prestige Group]] agreed to invest around ₹120 crore to facilitate the construction process and enhance passenger facilities.

In this deal, the company was granted the right to use the name of the station for 30 years, and the station will be named '''Prestige Bellandur Metro Station'''. The deal also provides limited commercial and advertising space in the station and the possibility of developing connectivity with nearby business development sites.

This is part of BMRCL’s efforts to develop metro infrastructure and passenger experience through public-private partnerships along the Outer Ring Road corridor. <ref>{{Cite news |date=2026-02-22 |title=Bellandur Metro station in Bengaluru gets Rs 120 crore boost from Prestige |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/bellandur-metro-station-in-bengaluru-gets-rs-120-crore-boost-from-prestige/articleshow/128653501.cms |access-date=2026-02-22 |work=The Times of India |issn=0971-8257}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=ವಾರ್ತೆ |first=ಪ್ರಜಾವಾಣಿ |title=ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೊ– ಪ್ರೇಸ್ಟೀಜ್‌ ನಡುವೆ ಒಪ್ಪಂದ |url=https://www.prajavani.net/district/bengaluru-city/namma-metro-prestige-group-agreement-bellandur-station-naming-rights-3793046 |access-date=2026-02-22 |website=Prajavani |language=kn}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Federal |first=The |date=2026-02-21 |title=NammaMetro: ಬೆಳ್ಳಂದೂರು ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ನಿಲ್ದಾಣ ಇನ್ಮುಂದೆ 'ಪ್ರೆಸ್ಟೀಜ್ ಬೆಳ್ಳಂದೂರು': ಬಿಎಂಆರ್‌ಸಿಎಲ್‌ನಿಂದ ಒಪ್ಪಂದ {{!}} BMRCL Signs 90 Crore Deal Prestige Group Bellandur Metro Naming Rights |url=https://karnataka.thefederal.com/category/state/bmrcl-prestige-group-bellandur-metro-station-naming-rights-deal-231014 |access-date=2026-02-22 |website=karnataka.thefederal.com |language=kn}}</ref>
