BMRCL's timetable for the newly opened Pink Line stretch runs trains from 6 am (4.55 am on Mondays, 7 am on Sundays) to 10.50 pm, about every 8 minutes, with fares of ₹10 to ₹30. The northern terminus, planned as Tavarekere, has opened as S G Palya.
Passenger trains on Bengaluru Metro's Pink Line run from 6 am to 10.50 pm on the newly opened 7.5 km elevated stretch between Kalena Agrahara and S G Palya, according to the timetable Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) released for the opening, as reported by Deccan Herald, Oneindia and Varthabharati. Public service began on Saturday, November 14, a day after Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated the line.
First and last trains
From Tuesday to Saturday, the first trains leave both terminals at 6 am. On Mondays they start earlier, at 4.55 am from Kalena Agrahara and 5 am from S G Palya, and on Sundays at 7 am. The last trains leave Kalena Agrahara at 10.50 pm and S G Palya at 10.54 pm. Trains run about every 8 minutes, with four trainsets in service and one on standby. All six stations and their timings are on our metro timings page.
Fares from ₹10 to ₹30
BMRCL has fixed fares of ₹10 to ₹30 on the stretch, Siasat and Sunday Guardian reported. The full ride between S G Palya and Kalena Agrahara costs ₹30, a trip from S G Palya to Hulimavu or IIMB costs ₹20, and the shortest trips cost ₹10. The fares follow Namma Metro's distance slabs used on the other lines. Journeys that continue on the Yellow Line via the Jayadeva Hospital interchange are priced on the total distance; the fare calculator now includes the Pink Line.
Tavarekere station opens as S G Palya
The northern terminus, planned as Tavarekere and earlier as Swagath Cross, appears in BMRCL's timetable as S G Palya (Suddagunte Palya). Our S G Palya (Tavarekere) station guide keeps both names. The other stations are Kalena Agrahara, Hulimavu, IIMB, JP Nagar 4th Phase and Jayadeva Hospital, the change for the Yellow Line.
The underground section from Dairy Circle to Nagawara, with an interchange at MG Road for the Purple Line, is expected around March 2027. Routes, stations and fares are on our Pink Line guide.
