The remaining stations on the priority section, namely Yeswantpur, Shettihalli, Myadarahalli, and Chikkabanavara, will be included in a separate tender. All suburban rail stations will feature platform screen doors for passenger safety. The project aims to operationalize the priority section by December 2025 and complete all four corridors by 2027.
