The inauguration of Bengaluru's Yellow Line Metro on August 10, 2025, was a momentous
occasion, marking a significant leap forward in the city's infrastructure and connectivity.
Being present at the event, I witnessed firsthand the excitement and anticipation
surrounding this project, which promises to transform commuting for countless
Bengalureans.
The Ragigudda Metro Station was buzzing with energy as Prime Minister Narendra Modi Ji oƯicially inaugurated the 19.15-kilometer Yellow Line, connecting RV Road to Bommasandra. Financed with an investment of around ₹7,160 crore, this line is a crucial addition to the Namma Metro network.
PM Modi flagged of the first train and traveled from Ragigudda to Infosys Foundation Konappana Agrahara Metro Station on the Yellow Line, accompanied by Chief Minister Siddaramaiah and Deputy Chief Minister DK Shivakumar. He also laid the foundation stone for Phase 3 of the Bengaluru Metro project.

The Yellow Line's Transformative Impact
The Yellow Line is poised to revolutionize commuting in Bengaluru, particularly for the large
number of tech employees who travel to and from Electronic City. With 16 stations along its
route, the line connects key residential, commercial, and IT hubs, oƯering a much-needed
solution to the city's notorious traƯic congestion, especially at Silk Board. The metro is
expected to serve over 8 lakh commuters daily, operating from 5 am to 11 pm with
driverless trains.
PM Modi emphasized the Yellow Line's role in transforming Bengaluru into a smart, fast,
and eƯicient city. He also acknowledged the contributions of corporate partners like
Infosys Foundation, Biocon, and Delta Electronics, who supported the construction of key
stations through their CSR initiatives.
MLA Krishanappa's Role
MLA Krishanappa's Role
While the Yellow Line Metro is a collaborative achievement, the dedication of local leaders
like MLA Krishanappa deserves special recognition. As a representative of the
constituency, Krishanappa has been a strong advocate for improved infrastructure and
connectivity. His consistent eƯorts in championing the Yellow Line project, resolving land
acquisition challenges, and coordinating with various stakeholders have been vital in
bringing this project to fruition.
