Will the Purple Line Extend to Hoskote?

Yes, a large extension toward Hoskote is being planned. As of April 2026, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has finished a study for a 16 km double-decker corridor. This line will start from the KR Puram station and extend along Old Madras Road (NH-75) to reach Hoskote. This project is a major part of the next Namma Metro expansion. It will link the city center to the fast-growing eastern suburbs.

Key Facts: KR Puram–Hoskote Metro Extension

The Double-Decker Plan on Old Madras Road

The extension to Hoskote is planned as a double-decker model, just like the one at Silk Board.

• Lower Level: A new road flyover to move cars and bikes on NH-75.
• Upper Level: Elevated metro tracks for the Purple Line trains.

This design saves space on the busy Old Madras Road and means the government needs to buy less private land. It aims to fix two problems: heavy road traffic and the need for fast public transport for people living in the east.

Benefits for Hoskote Residents

The Metro will change how people see Hoskote. It will turn the area from a far-off suburb into a well-linked part of the main city.

• Faster Commute: You can skip the long lines at the Hoskote Toll and reach central Bangalore much quicker.
• Easy Switches: At KR Puram, you can change to the Blue Line to reach the International Airport or stay on the Purple Line for Majestic.
• Property Value: History shows that home prices along new Metro lines go up as soon as work starts.
• More Business: Better links will bring more shops, malls, and offices to the Hoskote and Narsapura zones.

Impact on Sobha One World

The Metro extension is a big win for the 300-acre Sobha One World township. The planned path includes stations near Katamnallur Gate and Hoskote, making the 54-floor luxury towers even easier to reach. Residents will enjoy a quiet life in a green township with a quick link to the rest of the city.

About the Project

Sobha One World is the largest residential project in the Hoskote-NH 75 area. With the planned Purple Line extension, this 300-acre project is set to become one of the most well-linked luxury addresses in East Bangalore by the end of the decade.
