Location

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), 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. [1]

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.

Structure

Belandur Road railway station has two platforms, each running to 650m in length, shelters, lighting, benches and a booking office.
