The Red Line or Hebbal-Sarjapura Line is a proposed metro rail line that will become part of Namma Metro's network in the city of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. Phase-3A of Namma Metro has been planned to become operational around the year 2030.[2][3][4]

As per latest news updates, the Karnataka Cabinet had approved the Phase 3A of this metro line, linking Sarjapur in southeastern Bengaluru with Hebbal in the north on December 6, 2024. The approval from the Union Cabinet is awaited, as the Centre holds a 50% equity stake in Namma Metro.[5][6]

## Funding

[edit]

Estimated at Rs 16,543 crore, including land acquisition charges, the 37-km line is outlined in the Comprehensive Mobility Plan 2020. This proposed metro line is expected to ease travel for public commuting to and from tech zones.[7] The alignment involves an elevated corridor near the IT corridor in Sarjapur, transitioning underground at Koramangala, traversing the central business district through tunnels, and emerging on Ballari Road with elevated stations at Ganganagar and Hebbal.

## Stations

[edit]

The Red Line (Hebbal-Sarjapura Line) is planned to have 28 stations.[7][8][9]

### Interchanges

[edit]

Passenger interchange facilities, connecting to other metro and railway lines, will be provided at the following stations:

* Hebbala (Connects to the Orange Line, which runs between JP Nagar 4th Phase and Kempapura and to the Blue Line, which runs from Central Silk Board to KIAL Terminals)
* Krishna Rajendra circle (Connects to the Purple Line, which runs between Whitefield (Kadugodi) to Challaghatta)
