Station details
Nagasandra Metro Station (NGS) on the Green Line was the northern terminus of the network from May 2015 until the Madavara extension opened on 7 November 2024, adding Manjunathnagar and Chikkabidarakallu beyond it. Its standout feature is a dedicated foot overbridge — funded and built by IKEA and inaugurated on 18 October 2023 — that lets passengers walk directly from Exit A into the IKEA Bengaluru store across busy Tumkur Road (NH-48) without touching traffic. The station also sits close to Prakriya Hospital (roughly 200m) and the Bangalore International Exhibition Centre (BIEC, about 2km, now also reachable via Madavara), serving the Nagasandra, Bagalakunte and 8th Mile localities of northwest Bengaluru.

Tips for Nagasandra station
4
- First-time visitor: Exit A opens directly onto a covered overbridge into IKEA Bengaluru — no need to cross Tumkur Road traffic. Exit B serves MS Ramaiah Enclave; Exit C leads to Nagasandra Circle and bus connections.
- Shopping: For IKEA, take Exit A and walk straight across the overbridge — it's a step-free, covered walk of a few minutes with no street crossing.

- Parking: Station parking (112 cars, 130 two-wheelers) is on the Exit B/C side; it fills up faster on weekends when IKEA and BIEC traffic overlaps with commuters.

Area guide
Nagasandra is a fast-growing residential and industrial suburb of northwest Bengaluru on Tumkur Road (NH-48), bordered by Peenya, Bagalakunte and Jalahalli. It combines older residential layouts with newer commercial development anchored by IKEA and the BIEC exhibition grounds.
The station opened in May 2015 as the Green Line's original northern terminus. It held that role for nearly a decade until the extension through Manjunathnagar and Chikkabidarakallu to Madavara opened on 7 November 2024.

No — Nagasandra was the Green Line's northern terminus from 2015 until 7 November 2024, when the extension to Madavara opened via two new stations, Manjunathnagar and Chikkabidarakallu. Nagasandra remains a key stop thanks to the direct IKEA overbridge and nearby Prakriya Hospital.
