The Yellow Line of Namma Metro is a nearly-completed part of the metro rail network of Bengaluru, India. The 18.82 km (11.69 mi)-long line connects R.V. Road with Bommasandra, and is fully elevated with 16 stations. R.V. Road station is the terminal station within the city, with an interchange with the Green Line. Jayadeva Hospital station will serve as another elevated interchange station with the Pink Line, which is under construction. Upon its opening, Jayadeva Hospital station will emerge as the tallest and largest metro station in Bengaluru, with five levels of transport, including the metro lines. Central Silk Board station will be another interchange, between the Yellow and Blue Lines. The other end of the Yellow Line will terminate at Bommasandra.
Construction work is largely complete on the line, with delays in the delivery of rolling stock. One completed trainset, imported from China, is currently undergoing testing on the line, while other sets, being manufactured at Titagarh Wagons in West Bengal under licence from the Chinese manufacturer CRRC, will reportedly be delivered from January 2025 onwards. Further trainsets will be dispatched within the second quarter of 2025 with the train operations planned to commercialize from June 2025.
