The Aqua Line or The Inner Ring Line is a proposed metro rail line for the Namma Metro's network in the city of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The proposed loop line features 24 stations and Six to Eight interchanges with other lines. A study by Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has projected that the loop line would increase the overall ridership of Namma Metro by 77 percent.[1]

IISC has recommended the loop line as a better alternative for Government of Karnataka's proposal of city wide tunnel roads.[2]

Funding

The proposal to build Metro along the city's Inner Ring Road was mentioned in the government's Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) 2031. It is unclear if the 34-km underground line, which is expected to cost about ₹ 10,000 crore, will be a part of Namma Metro’s upcoming Phase III expansions. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (BMRCL) is yet to finalise the new lines including the Inner Ring Line.[3]
