Kamalapur (

Kamalapur, adjacent to Kamalapur railway station. It is scheduled to be opened in 2026 and is integrated as MRT Line 6's third phase.[2]

History

The extension of

Line 1 which is underground. The second option was to build the metro station outside the railway station area. According to the third proposal, they will apply for land from the ministry of Railways for constructing the station.[9]

Extending the line up to Kamalapur would increase the length of the line to about 21 km. The extension pushes the completion date for the line to 2026.[10] The extension work started in January 2023.[11]

Note

  1. ^ The reason for Kajima's objection is unknown, but according to the railway authority, the extension project conflicts with the construction of the hub.[9]
