Newly appointed BMRCL MD inspects key progress on Bengaluru Airport Metro Line
The newly appointed Managing Director of the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. (BMRCL) J. Ravi Shankar, conducted a detailed inspection of the under-construction Bengaluru Airport Metro Line on Thursday. This crucial corridor, stretching from Kempegowda International Airport to Hebbal, is part of Phase 2B of Namma Metro. According to a release by BMRCL, the MD reviewed critical infrastructure components, including the viaduct, station buildings, and the upcoming Airport Depot. 'He also reviewed high-priority locations such as railway crossings and cut-and-cover sections near the Indian Air Force premises,' the release stated. Mr. Shankar instructed engineers and contractors to strictly adhere to the project timeline while ensuring world-class infrastructure and compliance with safety norms. The line is expected to provide a much-needed transit access to North Bengaluru, facilitating travel between the city and the airport, which is around 35 km from the Central Business District(CBD), and helping decongest surrounding traffic. The line, which is called Blue Line or ORR-Airport Metro Line consists of two sections - Phase-2A (Central Silk Board to Krishnarajapura) and Phase-2B (Krishnarajapura to Airport). Construction of Phase-2A, began in August 2021. Construction of Phase-2B began in February 2022.

Bengaluru: One App For All Your Rides? Namma Metro QR Tickets Go Live On 12 Platforms
Last Updated: Namma Metro now lets you book QR tickets through apps like Redbus, Rapido, and more via ONDC. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has rolled out QR-code based ticket booking across 12 digital platforms. This upgrade comes through a partnership with the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), allowing commuters to buy metro tickets using a wider range of travel apps. Until now, passengers could book tickets through the Namma Metro app, Paytm, or the official WhatsApp chatbot. But from now on, they'll also be able to use apps like EaseMyTrip, Highway Delite, Miles & Kilometres (via Telegram), Namma Yatri, OneTicket, Rapido, Redbus, Tummoc, and Yatri–City Travel Guide. Sri Maheshwar Rao, Managing Director of BMRCL, shared that this move is a major milestone in building a seamless, multimodal transport system. With auto-rickshaw and cab services already linked to ONDC since 2023, the addition of metro ticketing completes the bigger picture. As per Hindustan Times, he said, 'This is a huge step forward for smart travel. Now, people can plan their journey from doorstep to destination using just one app—saving both time and effort." BMRCL's goal is to create a well-connected transport system that combines first-, middle-, and last-mile options. With this QR-based ticketing system, commuters don't need to hop between apps or stand in long queues anymore. Everything is now just a few taps away. This initiative reflects BMRCL's larger goal: building an inclusive and tech-friendly travel experience for everyone in Bengaluru. By embracing open digital networks, the metro is becoming more accessible, user-friendly, and ready for the future. view comments First Published: July 10, 2025, 08:02 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
