This metro station will consist of the main Bangalore East and Banaswadi railway stations along with many prime locations like St. Anthony's Chapel, BBMP Regional Office (Pulikeshi Nagar) and surrounding suburban areas like Williams Town, Fraser Town, Cox Town and Richards Town.

As per the latest updates, this metro station, under the second phase, covering the total distance of 13.8km stretch (Dairy Circle - Nagawara) is expected to be operational around December 2026. [2][3][4][5][6][7]

History

In June 2017, Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) sought bids for constructing the Pottery Town metro station along the 2.88 km Shivaji Nagar - Shadi Mahal Ramp stretch of the 21.25 km Pink Line of Namma Metro. In November 2019, Larsen & Toubro (L&T) emerged as the lowest bidders for this stretch which aligned closely with the original estimate, thus leading to successful award for this company. They commenced the construction of this metro station as per the agreements.
