Sanctioned, released and spent are different things: an allocation is not evidence money was spent. Part figures cover one contract, loan or package and are never used as the project's cost.

Previously: The Reach 2A (₹327 cr) and Reach 2B (₹332 cr) civil-works contract values were filed under fiscal year 2021-22, the year of the article that reported them.

Notes and caveats
Opened in two sections: Mysuru Road–Kengeri (2021-08) and Kengeri–Challaghatta (2023-10), per The Metro Rail Guy. A separately-reported ₹1,867.95 cr figure (Deccan Herald) could not be directly verified in this collection pass and remains withheld. The two civil-works contract values now on file (₹327 cr + ₹332 cr = ₹659 cr, confirmed directly from a Metro Rail News article dated 2021-06-28) are package-level construction contracts, not a confirmed total project cost — the ₹1,867.95 cr figure may cover land acquisition, systems and other components on top of these two packages, but that has not been confirmed.
