National Military School is an upcoming underground metro station on the North-South corridor of the Pink Line[1] of Namma Metro in Bangalore, India. This metro station consists of prime locations such as the Richmond Park, Karnataka State Hockey Association, Bengaluru Football Stadium along with other important locations like the Shoolay Circle connecting Bengaluru's Kanteerava Stadium to the west side and M G Road, Bangalore to the east side. This metro station is stated to become operational around March 2025.[2][3][4][5][6]

History[edit]

In June 2017, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) sought bids for constructing the National Military School metro station along the 3.66 km South Ramp - National Military School stretch of the 21.25 km Pink Line of Namma Metro. In November 2019, Afcons Infrastructures emerged as the lowest bidders for this stretch which aligned closely with the original estimate, thus leading to a successful award for this company. They commenced the construction of this metro station as per the agreements.
