Kempapura metro station is a planned rapid transit station on the Namma Metro (Bengaluru Metro) network in Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The station is part of the Phase 2B expansion, also known as the "Blue Line" or the "Airport Line," which is designed to connect the Central Silk Board to the Kempegowda International Airport.
The station is situated along the Outer Ring Road (ORR) near the Hebbal area and the Kempapura layout. According to official project plans released by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), Kempapura is designated as a significant transit hub. It is planned to serve as an interchange station between the Phase 2B Blue Line and the proposed Phase 3 "Orange Line," which is intended to connect Hebbal to J.P. Nagar.
The primary objective of the station is to provide high-speed rail connectivity to the northern suburbs of Bengaluru and to facilitate easier access for commuters traveling toward the international airport. The station's location is intended to alleviate vehicular congestion at the Hebbal junction, one of the city's major traffic bottlenecks.
As of early 2024, the station is under construction. Specific details regarding the station's final architectural design, exact internal facilities, and its definitive operational commencement date are currently subject to ongoing construction progress and official updates.
