Bengaluru,November 13, 2026: Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the Namma Metro Rail Pink Line train service in Bengaluru on Friday.

After the ceremonial flag off, PM Modi travelled on the Metro train with Karnataka Chief Minister D K Shivakumar, Governor Sudha Yadav, Bangalore South MP Tejasvi Surya and Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda.

The Bengaluru Namma Metro’s Pink Line from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere has been developed at a cost of around Rs 3,470 crore. The section, running from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere and Suddaguntepalya, is expected to connect with the Electronic City line at the Jayadeva metro station.

The total length of the Pink Line is 21.25 km, comprising 18 stations. While the elevated corridor, which the prime minister inaugurated, has six stations, the underground section will have 12 stations and is still under construction.

The new stretch is expected to enhance urban connectivity, ease daily commuting, reduce travel time and strengthen public transport facilities within the city.

The Bengaluru Namma Metro Pink Line service will begin operating for public from 6am on Saturday (November 14).
