==Funding==
For Phase-2 of Namma Metro, the Central and State Governments will fund around ₹15,000 crore. The State and Central Governments will bear 30% and 20% of the project cost respectively. The remaining will be obtained through senior term loans. BMRCL is permitted to raise up to ₹9,000 crore through loans.

Indian firms [[Biocon]] and [[Infosys]] announced that they would provide funding construction of the Hebbagodi and Konappana Agrahara (now renamed 'Infosys Foundation Konappana Agrahara') metro stations respectively on the Yellow Line. Each firm will contribute {{INRConvert|100|c}} towards the project. Biocon CMD [[Kiran Mazumdar Shaw]] stated that the company wanted to fund the project because it would help de-congest the city. Both Biocon and Infosys have offices located near the stations.<ref>{{cite web|title=Biocon, Infy to Adopt Two Metro Stations – ETtech|url=http://tech.economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/technology/biocon-infy-to-adopt-two-metro-stations/58727080|website=ETtech.com|access-date=18 May 2017|language=en}}</ref>
