All of these stations will be constructed under phase 1 of the new metro line.
The land parcels are needed for constructing station entrances, staircases and lift access points.
A GMRL official said, "Most of the entrances will come up on the road right of way (ROW), but there are small patches required for staircases or lifts. For this, we have asked HSVP to grant permission."
Most of the station structures will be built on the ROW, which is already available with GMRL.

Earlier, TOI reported that the work on phase 1 would be delayed as GMRL revised its tender after being directed to incorporate the Bakhtawar Chowk underpass in the project's scope.
As a result, the start of civil work was pushed from May to at least June.
The underpass at Bakhtawar Chowk is estimated to cost around Rs 60 crore. Phase 1 of the corridor will have 14 elevated stations covering 15.2km. It will start from Millennium City Centre and run up to Sector 9 with Sector 45, Cyber Park, Sector 47, Subhash Chowk, Sector 48, Sector 33, Hero Honda Chowk, Udyog Vihar 6, Sector 10, Sector 37 and Basai in between.
From Basai, a spur will extend to Sector 101 on Dwarka Expressway.
Separately, HSVP allotted 5.25 hectares in Sector 33 to GMRL to set up a casting yard. This facility will be used to prepare precast metro components.
"The tender for phase 1 will open on May 15. We are also in the process of finalising the general consultant for the project," the official said.

State govt to launch Space Park project on Thursday
T'puram: The foundation stone for Kerala's ambitious Common Facility Centre (CFC) and Research & Development Centre (RDC) as part of the Space Park project will be laid on Thursday. The event will be held at the Hyatt Regency, Thycaud, in the capital. Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate the event. Organized by Kerala Spacepark (KSPACE), the event marks a significant step in boosting the state's aerospace and defence sectors. Spanning 15.06 acres in Pallippuram, the project is backed by Nabard and aims to provide shared facilities for testing, inspection and innovation.

Registration for delegates and students is now open. The tender for the Space Park was awarded to Ircon International Ltd, a Govt of India undertaking institution under the ministry of railways. The project was granted a Rs 241 crore loan from Nabard for the construction of the buildings and the campus. The tender was called by the Kerala State IT Infrastructure Ltd to construct two key buildings—the CFC and RDC. The estimated completion of the project is 30 months. The new facilities will be built on 3.5 acres of the 18.5 acres allotted by state govt at Technopark Phase IV in Pallipuram.

Zee to raise over ₹2K cr from preferential issue of convertible warrants
Zee Entertainment Enterprises (ZEEL) will raise over Rs 2,237 crore from the preferential issue of convertible warrants, as its board of directors on Monday approved the promoters increasing their shareholding in the company. These warrants are proposed to be allotted to Altilis Technologies or Sunbright Mauritius Investments, according to the stock exchange filing. The promoters' shareholding in ZEEL will rise to 18.39 per cent from 3.99 per cent. 'In a second board meeting held later in the day, the board of directors considered the various alternatives discussed by JP Morgan and, after due deliberations, adopted and approved the enhancement of promoter shareholding by issuance of up to 16,95,03,400 fully convertible warrants to the promoter group entities on a preferential basis, at Rs 132 per warrant. The promoters of the company will participate in the fundraising exercise by investing Rs 22,37,44,48,800 (Rs 2,237.4 crore) for the company's next phase of growth, taking the total promoter shareholding to 18.39 per cent. The preferential issue is subject to shareholders' approval,' it said in a statement. Before this, the promoter and promoter group, led by Essel Group's Chairman Emeritus of ZEEL, Subhas Chandra, and his family, held 3.99 per cent of the shareholding in the company, according to the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE). Its shares closed at Rs 138.25, up by 0.68 per cent, on NSE. Shubham Shree, on behalf of the promoter group, was quoted saying, 'The promoters submitted their desire to enhance their shareholding to the board on 1 May when the stock price was at Rs 106.35; however, they are committed to the company and its business even at this higher price.' The Mumbai-based broadcaster also had another meeting with JP Morgan, an investment bank, it stated in its release, where the latter presented an assessment of the company's growth plans and strategic initiatives and also discussed the market perception of the stock and potential alternatives with the board, ZEEL said. R Gopalan, Chairman, ZEEL, said in a statement that the board had deliberated upon the various alternatives discussed with JP Morgan and conducted a thorough evaluation of the company's growth plans. 'The board believes that the steps being implemented to enhance the promoter shareholding will ensure their added motivation to work in line with the enhanced business plan. The investment by the promoters, coupled with the strong, ambitious growth initiatives planned by the management team, will ensure that 'Z' (the new brand logo) remains well-positioned to accelerate its strategic plans to achieve its targeted aspirations,' he added. This comes a month after the company announced its rebranding process and a new phase of growth backed by its focus on content and technology, and its long-term vision around ZEEL's performance and profitability. These steps follow the company implementing several cost-cutting measures in FY25, after Punit Goenka, Chief Executive Officer (CEO), ZEEL, said in the earnings call for the January–March quarter that there is no room for cost-cutting right now for the expansion of its EBITDA margin. In June, the company also announced a strategic equity partnership with content and technology start-up Bullet, where ZEEL is expected to either invest or acquire a stake in the platform, it had stated in the stock exchange filing. Bullet developed India's first micro-drama application focused on fast-paced, creator-driven content through short-duration vertical format episodes targeted towards younger audiences.
