The Bengaluru Suburban Railway is an under-construction suburban rail network for the city of Bengaluru in Karnataka. Since the first proposal in 1983, several others were made but to no avail until a revised proposal of length 161 km (100 mi) was approved in the 2019 Railway Budget. The network is set to have four lines in total with two of them planned to open by December 2026. The four lines of Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP) are named after regional flowers in Kannada: Sampige (Magnolia champaca), Mallige (Jasmine), Parijaata (Nyctanthes arbor-tristis) and Kanaka (Crossandra infundibuliformis). When abbreviated, they form the Kannada word 'Sa-m-par-ka' which means connectivity. There have been a total of six proposals with the RITES (2018) proposal being approved in 2019 after a few amendments. The construction works for the project commenced in 2022 on the two priority lines, Mallige (line 2) and Kanaka (line 4) which are planned to be operationalised by the end of 2026. The remaining two lines, Sampige (line 1) and Parijaata (line 3) are planned to be opened by 2028. But, as of 2026 opening dates have been pushed to 2030.
