The Karnataka government has announced a revision of Bengaluru’s Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP), signaling a major push to strengthen the city’s transport infrastructure. Among the proposals under consideration is a metro line extension to Doddaballapur, a fast-growing region on the city’s outskirts.
Officials note that the move is designed to reduce traffic bottlenecks, improve accessibility for commuters, and support industrial and residential growth in the area. The revised CMP will integrate multiple modes of transport, including metro, suburban rail, and bus services, to create a seamless mobility network.
Urban planners emphasize that linking Doddaballapur with the metro could significantly boost last-mile connectivity, reduce dependence on private vehicles, and contribute to Bengaluru’s sustainability goals.
