Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the long-awaited Yellow Line of Namma Metro on Sunday, 10 August, marking a major leap forward in Bengaluru’s urban transit. Covering 19.15 km from RV Road in South Bengaluru to Bommasandra in the east, the line features 16 elevated stations and comes with a price tag of approximately Rs 5,057 crore.
The launch also heralds the beginning of regional transformation, offering smoother journeys to tech and industrial hubs like Electronic City, Silk Board, and BTM Layout. The line is expected to significantly reduce congestion at notorious bottlenecks, especially around Silk Board junction.
