In a significant boost for travel infra in Bengaluru, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the much-awaited Yellow Line of Namma Metro on Sunday. With this transport upgrade, Bengalureans can heave a sigh of relief as it is expected to reduce congestion on city roads to a great extent.
The metro corridor links the RV Road (Ragigudda) to Bommasandra. The Yellow Line is part of the Metro Phase-2 project and spans over a length of over 19 km.
16 Elevated Stations
The latest corridor of Namma Metro houses 16 elevated stations, including RV Road, Ragigudda, Jayadeva Hospital, BTM Layout, Central Silk Board, HSR Layout, Oxford College, Hongasandra, Kudlu Gate, Singasandra, Hosa Road, Electronic City-IKonappana Agrahara, Huskur Road, Hebbagodi and Bommasandra.
The metro project is built at a cost of around Rs 7,160 crore. With the inauguration of the yellow line corridor, the operational metro network in Bengaluru will increase to over 96 km. It is estimated that the Yellow Line metro will cater to more than 6 lakh passengers every day.
The new line is set to enhance connectivity to key hubs including Silk Board Junction, BTM Layout, Electronic City, and the Bommasandra Industrial Area—home to major employers such as Infosys, Biocon, and TCS. By directly linking residential neighborhoods with tech parks and industrial zones, the corridor is expected to ease congestion at major traffic bottlenecks, particularly the heavily gridlocked Silk Board Junction, and reduce commute times for thousands of travelers.
