K-Ride reports 89% physical completion on Byappanahalli–Hosur track doubling

Bengaluru, Karnataka21 Aug 2026

Rail Infrastructure Development Company (Karnataka) Limited (K-Ride) said the 48-km Byappanahalli–Hosur railway track doubling project has reached 89% physical work completion. The agency also stated that around 14 km (about 30%) of the doubled line has been commissioned so far, with remaining works including track linking, electrification, signalling and telecom pending in sections such as Byappanahalli–Bellandur Road and Heelalige–Hosur.

Why it matters

Further commissioning of the doubled line can increase capacity and reduce bottlenecks on the Bengaluru–Hosur rail corridor once the remaining sections are brought into service.
