Under the agreement, the station will be co-branded as Prestige Bellandur Metro Station with Prestige investing ₹115 crore (excluding GST) over a 30-year concession period for station upgradation, infrastructure support and long-term partnership rights. The deal grants the developer exclusive naming rights, commercial and advertising entitlements within the station, and provisions for future elevated connectivity to its nearby office developments.
The adoption forms part of BMRCL’s public–private partnership (PPP) framework aimed at improving station infrastructure and monetisation while accelerating last-mile connectivity. As part of the arrangement, Prestige will undertake interior upgrades, finishing works and station enhancements aligned with global metro standards and IGBC green building benchmarks.
Located on the 17-km ORR Metro Corridor connecting Silk Board and KR Puram, the Bellandur station sits at the heart of India’s largest office micro-market, home to several technology firms and global capability centres. The corridor is expected to significantly ease traffic congestion and improve daily commute times for thousands of professionals working along the Outer Ring Road.
“This is our way of giving back to the city—by strengthening mobility where India works and helping future occupiers experience seamless connectivity,” said Juggy Marwaha CEO & Executive Director (Office), Prestige Group, adding that the station would be developed to set a new benchmark for transit-oriented infrastructure in Bengaluru.
Real estate experts said such naming rights and station adoption models are gaining traction in large office hubs, allowing developers to directly integrate transit infrastructure with commercial districts while offering metro authorities a steady, long-term revenue stream. With the ORR emerging as the city’s most active office market, similar partnerships are expected to follow as developers seek stronger transit linkages for large-format campuses.
