BMRCL, InMobi Sign ₹65 Crore Deal for Metro Station Naming Rights
Bengaluru, November 07, 2026: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) and InMobi have signed a long-term partnership under which the technology company has secured naming rights for Ibbaluru Metro Station for 30 years. The agreement carries a total contractual commitment of ₹65 crore, excluding GST, and the station will be known as InMobi Ibbaluru Metro Station.
The partnership aims to support Bengaluru’s public transport infrastructure and contribute to the city’s long-term urban development. The arrangement will also strengthen BMRCL’s non-fare revenue initiatives, providing an additional source of funding for metro infrastructure development.
Dr. P. C. Jaffer, IAS, Managing Director, BMRCL, said: "We are delighted to welcome InMobi, India's first double unicorn company, as our partner in the development of Bengaluru's Metro infrastructure. This partnership demonstrates how leading corporate organisations can contribute meaningfully to the growth of public transport. The Rs. 65 crore arrangement will support Metro infrastructure development while strengthening BMRCL's non-fare revenue initiatives. We look forward to many more such partnerships with Bengaluru's corporate community."
Naveen Tewari, Founder and CEO, InMobi, said, “Bengaluru gave InMobi the confidence to imagine and build a global future. As we have grown, so has our sense of responsibility towards the city that shaped our journey. This partnership reflects our commitment to giving back to Bengaluru and our belief that businesses have a role to play in the development of the communities they are a part of. As we continue building from India for the world, we remain equally committed to contributing to the city where our journey began.”
Dr. Subi Chaturvedi, Global SVP, Chief Corporate Affairs and Public Policy Officer, InMobi, further added, “A city’s progress is felt in the daily lives of its citizens: how easily a student reaches college, a professional gets to work or a family travels across the city. Public transport makes those connections possible. Through our partnership with BMRCL, we are committing to Bengaluru’s future with the patience and responsibility that city-building requires. Our intention is to create lasting public value through infrastructure that serves people across generations. It's truly a moment of great pride for all InMobians.”
Founded in Bengaluru, InMobi said the partnership reflects its long-term investment in the city and its commitment to supporting infrastructure that connects people with workplaces, educational institutions and other opportunities.
The collaboration also highlights the role of private enterprises in supporting urban infrastructure and public transport. By contributing to metro development, the partnership seeks to encourage public transport use and support Bengaluru’s efforts to address traffic congestion and environmental pressures.
BMRCL and InMobi view the agreement as a contribution to the city’s long-term development, bringing together institutional collaboration and sustained private investment to support a more accessible and liveable urban environment.
