K'taka bearing 84% of metro cost despite Centre's 50:50 promise: Minister Gowda

Karnataka is bearing nearly 84% of Bengaluru's ₹77,891-crore Namma Metro cost, nearly five times the Centre's 16.2% contribution, state minister Krishna Gowda claimed. He said that the Centre has not fulfilled its share under the 50:50 funding arrangement. The Congress-led Karnataka government will step up its demand for a greater contribution from the Centre towards the city's Metro projects.
