History
In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Hongasandra metro station along the 6.385 km Reach 5 – Package 2 section (Hosa Road - Bommanahalli) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 April 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.{{Cite web |date=2017-04-25 |title=ITD-ITD Cem JV Lowest Bidder for B'lore Metro's Hosa Rd - HSR Layout |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2017/04/25/itd-itd-cem-jv-lowest-bidder-for-blore-metros-hosa-rd-hsr-layout/ |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=The Metro Rail Guy |language=en-US}} Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
