Understanding the Metro in Chikkajala

The Blue Line is a massive project that connects the Outer Ring Road to the International Airport. The tracks for this line pass directly through the Chikkajala area along National Highway 44.

The Chikkajala "Future Station"

Currently, the metro station at Chikkajala is marked as a future stop. This means the metro trains will pass through the area on their way to the airport, but they may not stop at Chikkajala in the first phase. However, the station structure is planned so it can be finished once more people move into the area.

Using the Doddajala Metro Station

For now, the Doddajala Metro Station is the main hub for this neighborhood. It is located very close to Chikkajala and is seeing fast construction in 2026. If you live in Sattva City, this station will be your primary gateway to the rest of Bangalore. It is only two stops away from the airport terminals.
