Bengaluru: Huskur, near HSR Layout in southeast Bengaluru, is getting a halt (crossing) railway station.
Railway Infrastructure Development Company Karnataka (K-RIDE) has built the station as part of the 48-km Baiyappanahalli-Hosur double line.
The Railway Board had sanctioned the Rs 498-crore project in 2018-19 with the railways and Karnataka sharing the cost equally. Work started in June 2020.
The double line will speed up train movements and help run more services between Byaippannahalli and Hosur.
While K-RIDE commissioned the Carmelaram-Heelalige section (10.5 km) in 2023, it is now set to operationalise Bellandur Road–Carmelaram (3 km).
