Namma Metro’s Green Line extension from Nagasandra to Madavara (formerly Bangalore International Exhibition Centre – BIEC) line, on Tumakuru Road is likely to be operational by July, 2024. The elevated line spanning Nagasandra to Madavara includes three stations - Manjunathnagar, Chikkabidarakallu, and Madavara. 

The majority of the work has been finished, and following the completion of track laying and other minor tasks related to stations, the next step involves conducting trial runs of trains and inspections by the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety.

The construction of the fully elevated Green Line’s northern extension from Nagasandra, spanning three km, commenced in 2017. Despite being originally scheduled for completion by mid-2019, delays in land acquisition impeded the progress, leading to missed deadlines set by Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation (BMRCL). 

BMRCL inaugurated the southern extension of the Green Line from Yelachenahalli to Silk Institute on Kanakapura Road in January 2021. Upon the operationalisation of the extended stretch to BIEC, the total length of the Green Line will reach 33 km, and is expected to benefit lakhs of commuters on the Green Line.
