To save Delmia Circle Flyover at J.P. Nagar, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has decided to build the proposed metro corridor under Phase III of Namma Metro above the existing structure.
BMRCL is building a metro corridor from J.P. Nagar 4th phase to Kempapura on Outer Ring Road covering a distance of 32.15 km. This stretch will have 22 stations. The Delmia Circle Flyover is turning out to be a hindrance for construction of the elevated corridor from Vega City Mall side towards Kanakapura Road. The flyover has been built using the median space of the road. The length of the flyover, including ramps, is around 300 metres.

On June 2024, The Central government’s Public Investment Board (PIB) has recently cleared the Bengaluru Metro’s Phase-III project. The project, which will cost Rs 15,611 crore, now awaits the green nod from the new Union Cabinet.

The state government had given its nod for the revised project cost of Rs 15,611 crore in March this year, to be completed by 2028. It has also decided to bear 80 percent of the cost of the project unlike in the past.
The state initially approved the project on 18 November, 2022 at a cost of Rs 16,328 crore, with a 20 percent share to be borne by Karnataka and the rest by the Centre through external borrowings.
