== History ==
In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Hebbagodi metro station along the 6.418 km Reach 5 – Package 1 section (Bommasandra - Hosa Road) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 March 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation [[Joint venture|JV]] was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-03-25 |title=ITD-ITD Cem JV Lowest Bidder for B'lore Metro's Bomasandra-HosaRd |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2017/03/25/itd-itd-cem-jv-lowest-bidder-for-blore-metros-bommasandra-hosard/ |access-date=2024-10-23 |website=The Metro Rail Guy |language=en-US}}</ref> Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements. In 2020, [[Biocon]] Group signed an agreement with the [[Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Ltd|BMRCL]] to contribute {{INR}}65 crore towards the construction of the metro station and donated land worth {{INR}}30 crore for the project. Consequently, Biocon obtained the [[naming rights]] for the station for 30 years, and the station was renamed from Hebbagodi to Biocon Hebbagodi.<ref>{{cite news |date=11 January 2024 |title='Biocon Hebbagodi' station name to remain same: BMRCL MD |url=https://www.newindianexpress.com/states/karnataka/2024/Jan/11/biocon-hebbagodi-station-name-to-remain-same-bmrcl-md-2649864.html |access-date=2 May 2024 |work=The New Indian Express |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |title=Biocon to fund Hebbagodi metro station |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/biocon-to-fund-hebbagodi-metro-station-899391.html |access-date=2 May 2024 |work=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref>
