Location

Nagawara is an upcoming important underground northern terminal metro station on the North-South corridor of the Pink Line ^[1] and upcoming elevated metro station on the Blue Line ^[2] of Namma Metro in Bengaluru, India. This metro station will be an interchange metro station between Pink Line and Blue Line.

This metro station will consist of the main Nagawara Junction which leads to Thanisandra, Yelahanka in the northside, Kalyan Nagar, Krishnarajapuram in the eastside, Bangalore East, Bangalore Cantonment in the southside and Hebbal, Yeswanthpur in the westside. It will also include prime locations like MSR Elements Mall, Bhartiya City and Manyata Embassy Business Park.

As per the latest updates, this metro station, under the second phase (Pink Line), covering the total distance of 13.8 km stretch (Dairy Circle - Nagawara) is expected to be operational around December 2026 ^{[3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8]} (under Blue Line) around June 2026. ^{[9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14]}

History

Pink Line

In June 2017, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) sought bids for constructing the Nagawara metro station along the 4.59 km Shadi Mahal Ramp - North Ramp stretch of the 21.25 km Pink Line of Namma Metro. In November 2019, ITD Cementation India emerged as the lowest bidder for this stretch which aligned closely with the original estimate, thus leading to successful award for this company. They commenced the construction of this metro station as per the agreements. ^[15]

Unlike other underground stations on the Pink Line, Nagawara station features a different design. Typically, both the concourse level (ticketing and security area) and the train platforms are located underground. However, at Nagawara, BMRCL chose to construct the concourse level at ground level (at grade), while keeping the train platforms underground. The primary reason for this decision was due to the presence of a Rajakaluve (stormwater drain) near the northern end and make it easier for future expansion if it takes place. ^[16]

Blue Line

On November 17, 2020, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) invited bids for the construction of the metro station, part of the 11 km Reach 2B – Package 1 (Krishnarajapura - Kempapura) of the 37.692 km Blue Line of Namma Metro. On September 14, 2021, Nagarjuna Construction Company Ltd. (NCC Ltd.) was chosen as the lowest bidder for this segment, with their proposal closely matching the initial cost estimates. ^[17] 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. ^[18]

Nagawara One

Nagawara one is a under construction commercial complex on top of the underground station. The commercial complex is expected to be of four floors with a toal area of 27,000 square meters. ^[16]
