Green Line on the Metro Map
The Green Line runs north–south through the centre of the network map — from Madavara at the top to Silk Institute at the bottom.
Why the Green Line Matters
The Green Line is the spine of Bengaluru's north–south metro network:
- Two interchanges — The Green Line is the only line with two interchange stations: Majestic (Purple Line) and RV Road (Yellow Line). This makes it the connecting link between the east–west Purple Line and the south-east Yellow Line to Electronic City.
- Industrial connectivity — The northern stretch connects the Peenya Industrial Area — one of Asia's largest industrial estates — to central Bengaluru, serving thousands of factory workers and small businesses daily.
- South Bengaluru backbone — Stations at Jayanagar, Banashankari, and JP Nagar serve Bengaluru's most densely populated residential areas, where millions of residents previously had no rapid transit option.
- Airport gateway — Nagasandra is currently the closest metro station to Kempegowda International Airport (by bus/taxi onward). Once the Blue Line opens, the Green Line will connect at KR Puram via the Purple Line.
- Heritage & culture — Stations at Chickpete, KR Market, Lalbagh, and Basavanagudi (National College) serve Bengaluru's oldest commercial and cultural centres — the wholesale markets of the Pété area, the 240-acre Lalbagh Botanical Garden, and the Basavanagudi temple district.
