Bengaluru Metro Yellow Line
As of 16 Oct 2026, Bengaluru Metro Yellow Line is operational (since 11 Aug 2025). Latest news: 16 Oct 2026.
The Yellow Line is a 19.15 km elevated line of Bengaluru's Namma Metro, run by BMRCL, from RV Road to Bommasandra via Central Silk Board and Electronic City, with 16 stations. It opened on 11 August 2025. As of July 2026 it carried more than one lakh passengers a day, with trains every 7 minutes at peak. Fares range from ₹10 to ₹60.
Why it matters
The Yellow Line is the first metro link to Electronic City, one of Bengaluru's largest IT employment hubs, and runs along Hosur Road through Central Silk Board junction, long one of the city's worst traffic bottlenecks. It connects with the Green Line at RV Road, and will link with the Pink Line at Jayadeva Hospital and the Blue Line at Central Silk Board. Its opening took the Namma Metro network to 96.1 km. Ridership has grown from about 25,000 a day projected at launch to over one lakh.
