BMRCL PHASE-2

Bangalore Metro Rail Project Phase 2

1. BACKGROUND

The DPR for the Phase-I of Bangalore Metro Rail Project was prepared by DMRC
and submitted to BMRCL (erstwhile BMRTL) during May 2003 and DPR for
extension of N-S line of Phase-I from Yeshwanthpur to Hesaraghatta Cross & R V
Road Terminal to Puttenahalli cross was submitted during October 2007 & June
2008 respectively. The project has been sanctioned and is under implementation.
The Phase-I comprises of two corridors.

(i) East-West Corridor from Baiyappanahalli Terminal to Mysore Road

Terminal – 18.10 km.
(ii) North-South Corridor from Hesaraghatta cross Station to Puttenahalli cross
– 24.20 km.

Out of a total of 42.30 km system about 8.80 km is underground section and

balance about 33.50 km is elevated. Total 40 stations are planned out of which 7
stations are underground, 2 at grade and 31 are elevated. On East West corridor a
maintenance depot with full workshop facilities is being constructed at
Baiyappanahalli whereas for North – South Corridor a maintenance depot with full
workshop facilities has been constructed at Peenya.

The Metro system is being implemented with 750 V DC Third Rail Traction System,
Cab signaling with CATC, SCADA, and AFC. The rake interchange link is planned
at Majestic station.

In the DPR for the Phase-II, the south end of N-S corridor has extension from
Puttenahalli to Anjanapura Township (Nice Road) along the Kanakapura Road and
from Hesarghatta cross to Bangalore International Exhibition Center (BIEC) on
Tumkur Road (NH-4). East-West Corridor is also proposed for extension on both
ends. i.e. Mysore Road to Kengeri and Baiyappanahalli to White Field.

As regards extension of North-South corridor to Electronic City - Bommasandra

Industrial Area, Government of Karnataka has desired that this line may be taken
up even when Phase-I is in progress. Further extension of this line beyond
Bommasandra Industrial Area may be needed in future as the city grows in this part
of the city..
 BMRCL PHASE-2

2. Traffic Demand

The detailed traffic study was got done from M/s Wibursmith Associates,
Bengaluru. Based on the detailed household surveys and traffic surveys carried out
during DPR study in 2002 - 2003 and subsequent DPR Studies for extension of N-S
line in October & December 2007 and the survey done now as a part of this study,
the Transport Demand Model was developed. The network for all the four
extensions have been developed from the primary database and used in the
transport Demand Model. The traffic demand on these four extensions and the
proposed R V Road – Electronic City/Bommasandra corridor and the new corridor
between IIM(B) and Nagawara in place has been projected.

3. PLANNING AND DESIGN PARAMETERS

DMRC has already implemented Phase I of Delhi Metro project. Various design
norms and parameters have been firmed up by DMRC after detailed studies of
norms followed by Metro systems in various countries. However, Delhi being a
much bigger Metropolitan City than Bangalore, its needs are different. However a
similar system is proposed for adoption for Bangalore city. Certain modifications to
the design norms have been recommended keeping in view the specific needs of
Bangalore city and with an idea of standardization of parameters for other
metropolitan and major cities in the country.

For the elevated section of Bangalore Metro a box shaped deck as adopted for
Delhi Metro has been recommended with overall top width of 9.519 m (track center
4.2 m to carry both the tracks. The section has side walkways at the floor level of
the coach for emergency evacuation of passengers.

Bangalore Metro system will have modern, lightweight rolling stock made of
stainless steel. Trains are proposed to be air-conditioned, consisting of 6 coaches
from the beginning itself. Maximum acceleration (1.0 m/sec2) and maximum
deceleration (1.1 m/sec2) parameters are similar to that of Delhi Metro system.

The system is proposed to have Standard Gauge tracks as this will facilitate
provision of sharp curves with radii up to 120 m which becomes a necessity in this
congested city. Other geometrical parameters are similar to that of Bangalore
metro under execution.

It is proposed to provide 750 V dc, third rail traction system for this extension as
being adopted for the phase I under implementation. The other systems like
Signaling with Automatic Train Control and Protection system, Automatic Fare
Collection system and tunnel ventilation, etc. are more or less similar to that of
Phase I of Bangalore Metro.

SALIENT FEATURES OF THE SIX LINES IN PHASE-II

Baiyappanahalli to ITPL – Whitefield (Extension of E-W Line)

The line starts from south side of Bangalore Chennai Railway line and crosses
Kasturinagar road and Outer Ring road and reaches the Old Madras road. Then the
alignment reaches the Whitefield road and runs along the median of Whitefield road and
then on the median of Graphite India road. After this, the alignment runs along the median
of road and touches the ITPL and Whitefield Satya Sai Ashram. The corridor has 14
stations namely, Jyothipuram, K.R.Puram, Narayanapura, Mahadevapura,
Garudacharyapalya, Doddanakundi, Vishvesharaiah Industrial Estate, Kundalahalli,
Vaidehi Hospital, Satyasai Medical Institute, ITPL, Kadugodi, Ujwala Vidyalaya and
Whitefield.

Mysore Road Terminal to Kengeri (Extension of E-W Line)

The line continues to be on the median of the Mysore Road till it reaches the Kengeri
station. The corridor has 5 stations namely: Nayandahalli, Rajarajeshwari nagar,
Bangalore University Cross, R.V. College of Engineering and Kengeri.

Hesaraghatta Cross to Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC) (Extension of

N-S Line)

The line continues to be on the RHS of the Tumkur road and traverses along the road up
to BIEC beyond NICE road crossing. There are 3 stations namely, Manjunathanagar,
Jindal and BIEC terminal. Bangalore International Exhibition Centre will be the main and
initial beneficiary of this extension, as not much of a traffic is expected initially on this line.
Therefore, this line will become more viable if BIEC shares cost of this line. Therefore,
the work on this line can begin after BIEC agrees to share the cost.

Puttenahalli Cross to Anjanapura Township (up to NICE Road Crossing) (Extension

of N-S Line)

The line continues to be on the median of Kanakapura road and traverses along the
median of the road up to the Anjanapura Township (up to NICE Road Crossing). There
are 5 stations namely, Anjanapura Road cross, Krishnaleela Park (ISKON), Vajarahalli,
Talaghattapura and Anjanapura Township.

R.V. Road to Bommasandra (E-W New Line)

The line traverses along the R.V. road and turns left to the Marenhalli road and traverses
on the median of Marenahalli road till short of Jayadeva Hospital junction flyover. At the
Jayadeva Hospital junction the alignment shifts to the left and traverses on the footpath of
the at grade road. After crossing Jayadeva junction flyover the alignment comes back to
the median and traverses on the median of the road till the Silk Board junction. At the Silk
Board junction the alignment turns towards right to reach the western side of Hosur road.
Then the line runs on the centre of western side service lane of the Hosur road.

Land Requirement:-

Since land is a scarce commodity especially in metropolitan areas, every effort has been
made to keep land requirement to the barest minimum and acquisition of private property
has been kept minimal. Land is mainly required for route alignment, station buildings,
platforms, entry/exit structures, traffic integration, power sub-stations, temporary
construction depots / work sites and sick line facilities etc.
