Template:Infobox station Bagmane Developers - DRDO Sports Complex (formerly called as DRDO Sports Complex) is an upcoming elevated metro station on the north-south corridor of the Blue Line[1] of Namma Metro in Bengaluru, India. This metro station serves mainly Bagmane Tech Park, which is occupied by top IT companies such as NVIDIA and Samsung under Bagmane Goldstone and Dell EMC, ARM Embedded Technologies, Accenture and Boeing under Bagmane World Technology Centre in South Bengaluru. This metro station is slated to become operational December 2026 instead of June 2026.[2][3][4][5][6]
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 (MoU with BIAL) and Bettahalasuru (MoU with Embassy Group).[7]
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 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.[8] 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.
