The Namma Metro network in Bangalore is a lifeline for the residents, especially thousands of working professionals commuting to the IT hubs. Currently, the Bangalore Metro has two operational lines – the Green Line and the Purple Line. The Green line serves as a north-south corridor with mostly elevated with 26 elevated stations and three underground stations. The Green line connects Nagasandra in the north-west to Silk Institute in the South.
A total of 29 stations are operational to date and three stations are under construction. This line became operational on 1 March 2014. In the north-west, the line connects Nagasandra to Silk Institute in the South. It also connects the industrial centres of Peenya and Yelahanka in the north, the Majestic hub in the centres, and some residential areas of Bangalore in the south.

Bangalore Metro Green Line extension status
The BMRCL plans to extend the metro network to the city outskirts to boost connectivity to areas like Nelamanagala, Bidadi and Hoskote. The BMRCL has initiated the process to explore the Green Line metro link to Tumakuru by issuing a tender for preparing the detailed project report (DPR). The proposed metro line will cover a length of 59.6 km. In May 2025, the state government approved a feasibility report, opting for a public-private partnership (PPP) model instead of a special purpose vehicle arrangement that was earlier estimated to cost Rs 18,670 crore with joint funding from the Centre and the state.
