Moderator sir,
I have not tagged this post as there exist no page for this station. Though I couldn't ascertain the code and distance of this station exactly from Nelamangala - NMGA, my guess is 60 Kms (railway distance). If a station page can be created it would be helpful for members to add info and also for those interested to follow the progress. Once officially the info is available, the distance could be corrected. This is my suggestion. It's up to your discretion to take it up.
Thanks.
