Bengaluru Namma Metro Yellow Line: Stations, operation timings, fare, travel time and expansion plans. Here's all

Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday inaugurated the Yellow Line of Namma Metro, a 19.15-km stretch connecting RV Road in South Bengaluru to Bommasandra in the east. Built at a cost of Rs 7,160 crore, the corridor has 16 elevated stations and is expected to serve up to eight lakh commuters daily.

The new metro line connects major areas such as Silk Board Junction, BTM Layout, Electronic City, and Bommasandra Industrial Area, home to companies like Infosys, Biocon, and TCS. By linking residential neighbourhoods to key business hubs, the corridor is expected to reduce traffic congestion, especially at Silk Board, and cut travel time significantly.

Authorities have described the Yellow Line as a “game-changer” for Bengaluru’s southern transport network.
