Bengaluru to get new terminal

In a separate update, Bengaluru is set to get its fourth railway terminal as the Ministry of Railways has given permission for a Final Location Survey (FLS) for the proposed Mega Coaching Terminal near Devanahalli.

The survey will be conducted along the Yelahanka-Devanahalli-Chikkaballapur corridor and is estimated to cost around Rs 1,500 crore. Once completed, it will augment the railway's capabilities to handle rising footfall in India's fifth most populous metro city.

The proposed Mega Coaching Terminal is likely to spread over 1,000 acres, and have at least 16v platforms, 10 pit lines, 4 full-length shunting necks, 2 run-through lines, and 2 coach maintenance lines.

It is also likely to have five washing lines, 24 stabling lines, two pit wheel lathe lines, six heavy repair bay lines, and six sick lines, along with support infrastructure like loco bays, a 50-tonne boot laundry, administrative buildings, and stores.
