Bengaluru’s eagerly anticipated Purple Line metro extension service begins

On Monday, train service started on two new sections in the city, ending residents’ long wait to travel by metro from Whitefield to the Bangalore Central Business District (CBD) and beyond. The Purple Line metro extension service, which cost Rs 363.48 crores to build, opened between Krishnaraja Pura (KR Pura) and Byappanahalli (BYPL). Additionally, this line links Bengaluru’s central business districts with Whitefield, a significant residential area.

The Baiyappanahalli-KR Pura section is the missing link on the Purple Line and will play a crucial role in connecting the tech hub of Whitefield with the CBD and beyond.
The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) confirmed on Sunday that two new sections of the Purple Line will open on October 9.
Of the two sections, one connects Baiyappanahalli with KR Pura (2.1 km) and the other connects Kengeri with Challaghatta (2.05 km).
