The Inner Ring Line is a proposed metro rail line for the Namma Metro's network in the city of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The proposed loop line features 22 stations and Six to Eight interchanges with other lines. A study by Indian Institute of Science (IISc) has projected that the loop line would increase the overall ridership of Namma Metro by 77 percent.[1]
IISC has recommended the loop line as a better alternative for Government of Karnataka's proposal of city wide tunnel roads.[2]
