Sir M. Visvesvaraya Terminal, Railway terminal in Baiyyapanahalli, Bengaluru, India
The Sir M. Visvesvaraya Terminal is a railway station in Baiyyapanahalli on the eastern side of Bengaluru, serving trains to several Indian cities. The building features open waiting areas with climate-controlled zones, escalators between levels, and a central food court with different stalls.
The station began commercial train services in June 2022, expanding Bengaluru's rail network with a third major intercity hub. This addition aimed to reduce pressure on the city's older stations.
The name honors Sir Mokshagundam Visvesvaraya, a well-known engineer whose work remains visible across India today. Travelers see his legacy in the modern facilities that combine engineering and functionality.
Multiple bus routes connect the station with residential and work areas across Bengaluru, making onward connections across the city straightforward. Ride services are available at the main exits, offering another way to reach your destination.
The building keeps indoor temperatures steady, which is unusual for railway stations in South India. This approach offers comfort during hot months when outside temperatures rise sharply.
