It referred to the expansion of the Metro network, which currently encompasses over 96 km and carries around a million commuters daily. “It is proposed to complete a total of 41 km of additional metro lines during the financial year 2026-27.

He said the North-South Corridor project from Hebbal Junction to HSR Layout Silk Board and the East-West Corridor project from KR Puram to Mysore Road, covering a total of 40 km of tunnel roads, have been approved at an estimated cost of ₹40,000 crore.
