History

In June 2017, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) sought bids for constructing the Shivaji Nagar metro station along the 2.76 km National Military School - Shivaji Nagar stretch of the 21.25 km Pink Line of Namma Metro. In November 2019, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) emerged as the lowest bidders for this stretch which aligned closely with the original estimate, thus leading to a successful award for this company. They commenced the construction of this metro station as per the agreements.
