Green line extension of Nagasandra to Madavara by July

Bengaluru, NT Bureau: Namma Metro’s Green Line extension from Nagasandra to Madavara (formerly Bangalore International Exhibition Center – BIEC) line, on Tumakuru Road might be operational around July.

BMRCL officials said that the majority of the work has been finished, with only final touches remaining.

“The track laying is the only task remaining, expected to take approximately two months, and the line is anticipated to be fully operational by this July,” official added.

The construction of the fully elevated Green Line’s northern extension from Nagasandra, spanning three kilometres, commenced in 2017.

Despite being originally scheduled for completion by mid-2019, delays in land acquisition impeded the progress, causing several missed deadlines set by Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (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.
