Bengaluru, 5th June 2018: The Embassy Group continues its pledge to the development and welfare of Bengaluru and its citizens with the commitment to invest more than Rs 300 crore for the city’s infrastructure projects like a Metro station, flyovers and walkways. Following its MoU with BMRCL for construction of Kadubeesanahalli Metro Station signed on 23 June 2017 relating to Embassy Tech Village (ETV), the company has now executed a detailed MoU with BMRCL for the construction of a Metro station at ETV on the North Outer Ring Road. In addition to the Rs 100 crore investment in Embassy TechVillage Kadubeesanahalli Metro station, it will also install a Skywalk at ETV at approx Rs nine crore.
