When the land acquisition is wrapped up by mid next month, pre-construction activities will begin soon after.

As a reminder, the construction of part of this extension was awarded to IL&FS Engineering in April (See: IL&FS wins Bangalore Metro contract) who won the contract to construct the 3.9 km elevated viaduct between  Mysore road station to Pattanagere station, including four elevated metro stations at Nayandahalli, Ajarajeshwari Nagar Station, Jnanabharathi Station and Pattanagere.
