PM Modi inaugurates Chennai Metro Phase 2: Know Yellow Line stations, timings and other key details

Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Chennai Metro Phase 2's Vadapalani–Poonamallee stretch, which spans 15 km and is part of Corridor 4. The newly opened metro line, constructed at a cost of around ₹4,900 crore, will reduce travel time for commuters between Chennai’s western suburbs and the city centre. Stations along the Yellow Line include Poonamallee Bypass, Poonamallee Bus Stand, Poonamallee Government Hospital, Karayanchavadi, Kumananchavadi, Kattupakkam, Iyappanthangal, Thelliyaragaram, Porur Bypass, Porur Junction, and Vadapalani.

Regular passenger services will commence at 4 pm on Sunday, with trains operating until 9 pm. From October 12, services will run from 7 am to 9 pm in both directions, with the last train departing at 9 pm from both terminals. The 3.7-km double-decker stretch features advanced signalling systems for driverless train operations, aimed at easing daily commutes and improving connectivity.
