'''Belandur Road railway station''' (station code: BLRR) is an [[Indian Railways]] [[train station]] located in Panathur, [[Bengaluru]], in the Indian state of [[Karnataka]], which is about 10 km away from the [[Krishnarajapuram railway station]] and serves the [[Bellandur]] and Panathur areas.

A major use of the station is local passenger service for travellers to the city ([[Bengaluru City railway station|Bengaluru City]]), [[Carmelaram|Karmelaram]] and [[Hosur]], an industrial city in [[Tamil Nadu]].

== History ==
Opened in 1864, this station used to be a halt station with very few facilities and there was no accessibility during that period. It served the nearby villages and its surrounding areas.

But as the Outer Ring Road IT Corridor developed rapidly through the 2000s and 2010s, the station's importance gradually increased, with more people relying on it for suburban travel. Despite the rise in demand, it continued to have very basic infrastructure.<ref>{{Cite web |last=India |first=TNIE |date=2017-08-19 |title=Proposal on doubling, electrification of two major routes sent to Rly Board |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/bengaluru/2017/Aug/19/proposal-on-doubling-electrification-of-two-major-routes-sent-to-rly-board-1645242.html |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=The New Indian Express}}</ref> [https://kride.in/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Detailed-Project-Report-BSRP.pdf]

After 2018, the station underwent a complete renovation, converting a rural halt to a new busy important suburban railway station. This consisted of electrification works, track-doubling, and addition of a new platform. These upgrades are part of broader efforts to expand the suburban rail connectivity. <ref>{{Cite web |date=2024-06-24 |title=On the slow track: Here’s all you need to know about the Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/bangalore/all-you-need-to-know-bengaluru-suburban-rail-project-9411151/ |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=One moment, please... |url=https://news.railanalysis.com/k-ride-floats-tender-for-internal-electrification-and-other-works-for-belandur-road-and-huskur-station-buildings-and-platforms-for-bypl-hsra-doubling-project/ |archive-url=http://web.archive.org/web/20250815063605/https://news.railanalysis.com/k-ride-floats-tender-for-internal-electrification-and-other-works-for-belandur-road-and-huskur-station-buildings-and-platforms-for-bypl-hsra-doubling-project/ |archive-date=2025-08-15 |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=news.railanalysis.com |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |last=Lalitha |first=S. |date=2023-11-06 |title=Bellandur Road-Karmelaram rail doubling by March 2024 in Bengaluru |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/cities/bengaluru/2023/Nov/06/bellandur-road-karmelaram-rail-doubling-by-march-2024-in-bengaluru-2630392.html |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Bellandur Station Opens, Speed Trials & Train Diversions Announced {{!}} Bengaluru Rail Update {{!}} Bengaluru Train News a |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/bellandur-road-gets-new-station-speed-trial-on-new-double-line-set-for-november-16-3797425 |access-date=2025-11-25 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref>
