Bengaluru’s Pink Line Metro from from Kalena Agrahara to Kadugodi Set to Become City’s Longest at 21.25 km

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the metro line between R.V. Road and Bommasandra on August 10. Following this milestone, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has begun preparations to extend the highly anticipated Pink Line metro corridor, connecting Bengaluru's busiest traffic zones and IT-BT parks.

Pink Line Metro Route Overview

The Pink Line Metro is part of Namma Metro Phase 2, stretching 21.3 km from Kalena Agrahara (Gottigere) to Nagawara. This line will feature a mix of elevated and underground sections, easing travel between South and North Bengaluru. Once complete, the Pink Line will connect key hubs including Dairy Circle, MG Road, Shivajinagar, Cantonment, and Nagawara.

The corridor will significantly improve urban mobility, offering seamless connectivity to IT hubs, residential areas, and commercial zones.

Station Planning and Feasibility

BMRCL plans approximately 18 stations -12 underground and 6 elevated- along the entire Pink Line route. After the feasibility test report is completed, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) will be prepared for approval by both state and central authorities.

Infrastructure Enhancements Along the Route

In addition to improved metro connectivity, a 90,000-seat stadium is planned near Attibele under the Karnataka Housing Board (KHB). The Pink Line will provide convenient access for commuters and spectators attending major events at the stadium.

Local residents have welcomed the project, noting that the Pink Line is expected to reduce traffic congestion, cut travel time, and improve commuting efficiency to Bengaluru's IT corridors and industrial hubs.
