Considering above plans and actual approval given in Jan'2014, project was already running behind schedule.

That means we will get the Ph-2 services available soe where during 2019-20. With further BBMP increasing guidence value and new land act effect fro 1st Jan'2014, PH-2 project will get extended in completion and cost fro Rs 26,000 Crore.

Sanjeev - 18 November, 2014 - 10:19
With increase in guidence value by BBMP during Sept'2013 and Nov'2014, with further new act for acquiring fro 1st Jan'2014, these will have ipact on cost and time.
http://bmrc.co.in/pdf/news/Nov-14.pdf
Already costs have been estimated for Ph-2 based on 2010 prices, even considering 5% escalaltion, revised cost should be calculated by BMRCL before starting actual work.
Also how much funding received for Ph-2 work till now ???

There was land acquisition issues at Lowry memorial and lots of families were affected at Narayanapura stn..so what does BMRCL do?
It quits both places and moves the station to somewhere near Whitefield Honda showroom now(I guess)..which is almost in the middle of no where..its not near at all to KR puram station nor is it catering to total residential areas!
Good, this is as per BMRCL track record!


ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂ ಲ ಕ್ರೋಡೀಕರಣಕ್ಕೆ ಹುಡುಕಾಟ
Sanjeev - 25 January, 2016 - 12:58
"ನಮ್ಮ ಮೆಟ್ರೋ' ಯೋಜನೆ ನಿರ್ಮಾಣ ಮಾತ್ರ ಸಮಸ್ಯೆ ಅಲ್ಲ. ಯೋಜನೆಗೆ ಬೇಕಾಗುವ ಆರ್ಥಿಕ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲ ಕ್ರೋಡೀಕರಣ ಕೂಡ ಸವಾಲಾಗಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಅಸಹಾಯಕತೆ ವ್ಯಕ್ತಪಡಿಸಿರುವ ಬೆಂಗಳೂರು ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ರೈಲು ನಿಗಮದ ವ್ಯವಸ್ಥಾಪಕ ನಿರ್ದೇಶಕ ಪ್ರದೀಪ್ಸಿಂಗ್ ಖರೋಲ, ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲ ಕ್ರೋಡೀಕರಣಕ್ಕೆ ಹೊಸ ಮಾರ್ಗಗಳನ್ನು ಹುಡುಕುತ್ತಿದ್ದೇವೆ ಎಂದು ಹೇಳಿದರು.
ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ ವಾಣಿಜ್ಯ ಮತ್ತು ಕೈಗಾರಿಕಾ ಮಹಾಸಂಸ್ಥೆ (ಎಫ್ಕೆಸಿಸಿಐ) ನಗರದಲ್ಲಿ ಮಂಗಳವಾರ ಹಮ್ಮಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದ "ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ಯೋಜನೆ ಹಂತ-1 ಮತ್ತು 2ರ ಪ್ರಗತಿ' ಕುರಿತ ಸಂವಾದದಲ್ಲಿ ಅವರುಮಾತನಾಡಿದರು.
ಸುರಂಗ ಕೊರೆಯುವುದು, ರೈಲ್ವೆ ಸುರಕ್ಷತಾ ಆಯುಕ್ತರಿಂದ ಅನುಮೋದನೆ ಪಡೆಯುವುದು ಒಂದು ರೀತಿಯ ಸವಾಲು. ಆದರೆ, ಇದರೊಂದಿಗೆ ಯೋಜನೆಗೆ ಸಂಪನ್ಮೂಲ ಕ್ರೋಡೀಕರಣ ಕೂಡ ಬಹುದೊಡ್ಡ ಸವಾಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಸುಮಾರು 13 ಸಾವಿರ ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ. ಮೊದಲ ಹಂತದ ಯೋಜನೆಯು ಹಣಕಾಸಿನ ತೊಂದರೆಯಿಂದ ವಿಳಂಬವೇನೂ ಆಗಲಿಲ್ಲ. ಆದರೆ, ಎರಡನೇ ಹಂತದ ಯೋಜನಾ ವೆಚ್ಚ ದುಪ್ಪಟ್ಟು ಅಂದರೆ 26,500 ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ. ಆಗಿದೆ. ಇದು ಈಗ ನಮ್ಮ ಮುಂದಿರುವ ಸವಾಲು ಎಂದರು.
ಈ ಸಂಬಂಧ ಫ್ರಾನ್ಸ್ ಮೂಲದ ಬ್ಯಾಂಕ್ ವೊಂದರಿಂದ ಈಗಾಗಲೇ 2 ಸಾವಿರ ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ. ಸಾಲಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಒಪ್ಪಂದ ಮಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳಲಾಗಿದೆ. ಜರ್ಮನ್ ಮೂಲದ ಕೆಜಿಡಬ್ಲ್ಯು ಜತೆಗೆ ದೀರ್ಘಾವಧಿ ಸಾಲಕ್ಕಾಗಿ ಮಾತುಕತೆ ನಡೆದಿದೆ. ದೇಶೀಯವಾಗಿ "ಮೆಟ್ರೋ ಬಾಂಡ್'ಗಳ ಮೂಲಕವೂ ಸಾವಿರ ಕೋಟಿ ರೂ. ಕ್ರೋಡೀಕರಿಸುವ ಗುರಿ ಇದೆ. ಅಲ್ಲದೆ,
ದೇಶೀಯ ಹಣಕಾಸು ಸಂಸ್ಥೆಗಳಲ್ಲಿ ಮೂಲಬಡ್ಡಿದರ ಕಡಿಮೆಯಾಗಿದೆ (ಉದಾ: ಎಸ್ಬಿಐ ಶೇ. 9.5). ಅಲ್ಲಿಂದಲೂ ಸಾಲ ಎತ್ತಲು ಯೋಚಿಸಲಾಗುತ್ತಿದೆ ಎಂದು ಮಾಹಿತಿ ನೀಡಿದರು.

Long way to go for Ph-2 loan arrangment. I will be happy if BMRCL can arrange loan for the Ph-2 by next 5 years itself forget about the completion.

Cantonment station and Cantonment METRO station have no links
Sanjeev - 12 February, 2017 - 09:43
Once again how Govt agencies in Public services work in isolation : BMRCL is locating Cantonment station at distance from the existing Cantonment Railway station. Railways are in a hurry to lease out 2 Acers of Land for PPP without any expansion of Cantonment station and considering METRO interchange, if this Bannerghata - Nagawara to be extended to Airport. As usual BBMP is busy calling tenders for its Corporaters wishes to be filled. If this is way, Bangalore will never get good multi modal transport hubs
PH-2 METRO alignmnet as per BMRCL website
As per Railways Land 2 Acers leasing for PPP without any METRO considerations
BMRCL wants to extend the Bannergahatta - Nagawara line to Airport, no plans for integration at Cantonment station.
BMRCL 2013 Press release about linee extension still in drawing board
