'''Krishna Rajendra Market''' (also known as '''K. R. Market''') is an underground metro station on the North-South corridor of the [[Green Line (Namma Metro)|Green Line]] of [[Namma Metro]] serving [[K. R. Market]] in [[Bengaluru]], India. It was opened to the public on 18 June 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=Inaugural Metro ride to south is a sweep of lovely landscapes|url=http://www.deccanherald.com/content/617993/inaugural-metro-ride-south-sweep.html|website=Deccan Herald|accessdate=18 June 2017}}</ref>

In January 2017, ''[[The Hindu]]'' reported that the station would most likely be named Fort (Kote) Station.<ref>{{cite web|author=Staff Reporter|title=K.R. Market metro station to showcase heritage of locality|url=http://www.thehindu.com/news/cities/bangalore/K.R.-Market-metro-station-to-showcase-heritage-of-locality/article17075407.ece|website=The Hindu|accessdate=3 February 2017|language=en}}</ref> The station is located close to several heritage sites such as Tipu Sultan's Summer Palace, his armoury in Kalasipalyam, the mud fort, Kote Venkataramana Swamy temple, and the century-old Victoria and Vanivilas hospitals. The BMRCL plans to integrate the station with the nearby landmarks, and recreate a historic ambience at the station by displaying a cannon used by Tipu Sultan at the station.<ref>{{cite web|title=KR Market Metro station likely to flaunt Tipu-era cannon soon|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/bengaluru/kr-market-metro-station-likely-to-flaunt-tipu-era-cannon-soon/articleshow/56900777.cms|website=The Times of India|accessdate=3 February 2017}}</ref>
