The Namma Metro (English: Our metro), also known as Bangalore Metro, is the rapid transit system serving the city of Bangalore in India.[1] Out of the operational 65 metro stations of Namma Metro as of October 2023, there are 56 elevated stations, 8 underground stations and 1 at-grade station.[2][3]
The first section (on the Purple Line) of the Namma Metro system opened on 20 October 2011 between Baiyappanahalli and M.G Road. The system is operated by the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL).
On 25 March 2023, a new section of the Purple Line from Krishnarajapura to Whitefield (Kadugodi) (13.71 km) with 12 new stations was inaugurated by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi. After the inauguration, The Purple Line was complete and the Namma Metro became the second longest metro system in India (69.6 km) after Delhi Metro.
Each line of Namma Metro is identified by a specific color.[4] The system uses rolling stock of standard gauge and has a combination of elevated, underground and at-grade lines. The Metro is operational from about 05:00 to 23:00 hours with trains operating at a frequency of 5 to 15 minutes. The Purple Line connects Challaghatta in the west and Whitefield (Kadugodi) in the east, while the Green Line connects Nagasandra in the north and Silk Institute in the south. The network is currently being expanded with the addition of new lines and extensions to existing lines (see below for the Complete List of Stations).
