Bengaluru Tunnel Road project

The Bengaluru Tunnel Road project is an urban mobility infrastructure project aimed at improving road connectivity in Bengaluru. The project has faced criticism regarding its design, economic feasibility, environmental and procedural compliance. It involves a significant investment with Rs 7,500 crore in Viability Gap Funding, which is nearly equal to the cost of the 19 km Yellow Line Metro serving up to 90,000 passengers daily. The project is criticized for prioritizing private vehicle movement benefiting a minority, increasing travel distance by 2.5–3 km via entry ramps, instead of focusing on high-capacity public transport solutions.
