In all likelihood, Phase II work will start off by 2014 as the land acquistion issues settle down. According to the plan, phase II of the Metro project will have a total of 61 stations, out of which 12 will be underground. This calls for an area of around 180-200 hectares of land and hence demands the removal of around 2000 properties. Officials confirm that the land acquisition process will abide by the General Land Acquisition Act, 1894.
and KIADB Act 1966.

KIADB is now conducting hearings for land-owners with objections. Acquisition will be restricted to land required for viaduct and stations alone. BMRCL wants to start with the construction work on Phase 2 by 2014, and settle down all land acquisition issues at the earliest

According to industry sources, the decision to cut down the land acquisition is also taken into consideration as a step reduce the rising project cost, which was calculated at Rs 26405 crore in 2011. Minimizing the project cost for Phase II is a point of concern for BMRCL officials since the expense for Phase I crossed the estimated amount

In a move to speed up the process of infrastructure development in the city, the government has decided to acquire additional land for the completion of its Metro project. This has left numerous residents, dwelling in the north and south of Bangalore, worried about the future of their property. To make matters worse, if such properties are acquired by the government, the landowners will have no choice but to look for another alternative and bear the inconvenience.

According to market news, the Metro Phase II groundwork has not started yet and additional land is required for the project. The residents of northern and southern parts of Bangalore raised objection, after the Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) issued a notification that stated acquiring of individual land for Metro project.
