Bengaluru Namma Metro Pink Line Opens Partial Elevated Section, Full Line Expected by 2027
Bengaluru's Namma Metro Pink Line inaugurated its first 7.5-km elevated stretch from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere on November 14, flagged off by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. This section includes six stations and aims to improve connectivity in south Bengaluru. The remaining 13.76-km underground segment, connecting Dairy Circle to Nagawara with 12 stations, is expected by May 2027. While the partial opening offers new transit options, some commuters express frustration over incomplete connectivity to central areas like MG Road.
