Doddajala Metro Station (Blue Line Phase 2B): construction update

Doddajala Metro Station (Blue Line Phase 2B) construction update confirms that builders have finished over 80% of the heavy concrete pillars and raised bridge spans under contract Package 3 by NCC Ltd. Set right on National Highway 44 (Ballari Road) near Meenakunte Hosur, this raised stop serves as an easy pick-up point for North Bengaluru. The metro team, known as BMRCL, is building this 38-kilometer airport line to wrap up all concrete structures before starting train tests and opening doors to daily passengers in 2027. The stop has one wide center platform in the middle of two tracks to fit long six-coach trains made by BEML.

This stop will help take cars off the busy highway near the Sadahalli Toll Plaza. Teams are working fast on the station roof frame, track beds, and power lines so trains can run to the airport in under ten minutes.

Technical Specifications: Doddajala Metro Station Blue Line

Doddajala Metro Station stands two floors up in the air at 14 meters high, which lets heavy highway traffic move freely below on NH 44. The waiting platform is 140 meters long so that six full train cars can open their doors at the same time.

• Station Type: Raised building with street tickets below and a train platform above.
• Work Package: Section 2B/P3 running 15 kilometers from Bagalur Cross to the airport gates.
• Main Builders: NCC Limited builds the bridges and stations, while NSL Construction handles paint, tiles, and glass.
• Electric Power: Third-rail power system running on 750 volts along the track bed.
• Safety Doors: Half-height sliding glass doors along the platform edges to keep riders safe.

The builders use big concrete beams made off-site and lift them into place at night. This smart step keeps lanes open for cars going to the airport.

Doddajala Metro Station Phase 2B: Civil Engineering and Viaduct Work

Civil work at Doddajala Metro Station has moved past the ground digging stage to building the main floor and ticket gates. All 48 deep ground poles and standing columns around the Doddajala crossing are fully cast in concrete.

Track crews from Larsen & Toubro are now laying hard concrete beds for tracks between Doddajala and the yard at Shettigere. These tracks do not use loose rocks, which makes the ride smooth and quiet. Teams are also running power cables and pipes under the road. Roof teams are ready to lift the curved steel frames over the top deck next.

Doddajala Depot Integration and Blue Line Alignment

Doddajala Metro Station links directly to the large 25-hectare Shettigere train depot through extra side tracks. This big yard holds train wash sheds, repair shops, and long parking tracks for the entire Blue Line fleet.

• North Track: Heads straight toward the airport gates and the new Airport City stops.
• South Track: Runs south down NH 44 through Bagalur Cross, Yelahanka, and Hebbal down to Silk Board.
• Yard Links: Smooth rail track switches let empty trains roll out of the yard straight into daily service.

Having this yard right next door means trains can start early every morning without delays. It makes Doddajala one of the most useful stops on the whole line.

Regional Housing Impact: Sattva Jodhani in the KIADB Bagalur Belt

Metro construction along Phase 2B has brought many new home buyers to North Bengaluru, helping projects like Sattva Jodhani in KIADB Bagalur. Built by the Sattva Group, this upcoming gated community covers 6 acres of land near the busy Aerospace and Hardware Park, about 9 km from NH 44.

The project is about 10 to 14 km from the airport, depending on the road you take. The steady rise of the Doddajala metro stop gives these homes a solid boost as new tech parks and ring roads open nearby.
