History

Blue Line

In December 2019, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) invited bids for the construction of the Agara metro station, part of the 9.859 km Reach 2A – Package 1 section (Central Silk Board – Kodibeesanahalli) of the 18.236 km 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. [6] 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.
