Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated Bengaluru Metro's Pink Line on Friday, ending a long wait caused by missed deadlines and worsening traffic. The 7.5-kilometre elevated section runs from Kalena Agrahara to SG Palya, connecting with the Electronic City line at Jayadeva Hospital station. Services will operate every eight minutes, with five trains on the line - four for regular operation and one as standby.
The line's development cost around Rs 3,740 crore. The station names were renamed ahead of inauguration: Bilekahalli-IIMB replaced IIMB, NS Palya-JP Nagar 4th Phase became JP Nagar 4th Phase, and SG Palya replaced Tavarekere. At the time, Bengaluru Metro's network spanned 103.6 kilometres, making it the second largest in India after Delhi.
The upcoming underground portion, spanning 13.7 kilometres, is set to open in the first half of 2027, facing challenges like difficult ground conditions.
