Recently [[Bagmane Tech Park]] had signed an agreement for construction of this metro station under Blue Line of Namma Metro and registered its rights for 30 years subject to the approval from the State Government. This is the third metro station after [[KIAL Terminals metro station|KIAL Terminals]] (MoU with [[Kempegowda International Airport|BIAL]]) and Bettahalasuru (MoU with [[Embassy Group]]).<ref>{{Cite news |date=2024-12-10 |title=BMRCL signs MoU with Bagmane Developers for construction of metro station on Blue Line |url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/bmrcl-signs-mou-with-bagmane-developers-for-construction-of-metro-station-on-blue-line/article68969710.ece |access-date=2024-12-10 |work=The Hindu |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref>

== History ==
In December 2019, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) invited bids for the construction of the DRDO Sports Complex metro station, part of the 8.377 km Reach 2A – Package 2 (Kodibeesanahalli - Krishnarajapura) of the 18.236 km [[Blue Line (Namma Metro)|Blue Line]] of Namma Metro. On 13 October 2020, Shankaranarayana Constructions (SNC) 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.
