Namma Metro’s Blue Line will be a transformational corridor connecting the city’s eastern and northern sectors — running from Central Silk Board towards KR Puram and further in phases to the Kempegowda International Airport. The Blue Line is designed to relieve heavy traffic on the Outer Ring Road (ORR) and Airport Road, and to create high-capacity, rapid connections to major IT and residential hubs. Construction has advanced rapidly with viaducts and station structures underway; authorities have communicated an expected mid-2026 operational timeline for the first section, subject to final safety certification and commissioning. Once opened, commuters can expect multi-modal interchanges (including Purple and Yellow Line connections), modern elevated stations, and AFC (smart card/QR) ticketing for faster access. This page keeps live-sourced updates on timelines, fares, and station lists to help you plan trips and understand how Blue Line services will integrate with existing Namma Metro operations.
