|August 11, 2025
AFTER an eight-year wait, Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Bengaluru Namma Metro's much-awaited Yellow Line on Sunday, a key link aimed at easing traffic congestion and improving connectivity, particularly for commuters in the city's bustling IT hub.
Part of Metro Phase 2, the 19.15 km stretch built at a cost of Rs 7,160 crore comprises 16 stations and expands the city's operational metro network to 96 km. The new line is expected to benefit over eight lakh daily commuters in south Bengaluru and increase the overall metro ridership to an estimated 12.5 lakh passengers per day.
Commercial operations will commence on the Yellow Line from Monday (August 11).
The PM also took a ride on the new Metro train from Ragigudda to Electronics City for which he purchased a ticket through QR code-enabled ticket vending machines.
