What is the Namma Metro Pink Line on Bannerghatta Road?
The Namma Metro Pink Line (Reach 6) is a 21.3 km corridor connecting Kalena Agrahara in the south to Nagawara in the north. It features a 7.5 km elevated section on Bannerghatta Road and a 13.8 km underground stretch through the city center. In April 2026, the elevated portion is undergoing final RDSO safety trials, with a public launch expected shortly after May. For residents of Godrej Vanantara, this line provides a direct, high-speed link to major hubs like MG Road and Shivajinagar.
Understanding the Pink Line Layout
The Pink Line is unique because it combines high-rise elevated stations with Bangalore's longest underground metro tunnel.
