Nanganallur Metro Station has been renamed to OTA-Nanganallur Road Metro Station. This change recognizes the Indian Army's role and pays tribute to soldiers. The decision was made during a High Power Committee meeting at the request of military officials. The station is part of the Blue Line in the 45-km phase I Metro project, located near the Officers Training Academy. Officials hope the renaming will encourage military personnel to use public transport. Lieutenant General K.S. Brar noted that the renaming aims to strengthen the public's connection with the Indian Army and the OTA.
