The Pink Line of Namma Metro is under construction and will form part of the metro rail network for the city of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The 21.25 km (13.20 mi) line connects Kalena Agrahara station (previously named Gottigere) on Bannerghatta Road in the south with Nagawara station on Outer Ring Road in the north. The Pink Line is mostly underground (13.92 km (8.65 mi)) but also has a 6.98 km (4.34 mi) elevated section and a 0.48 km (0.30 mi) at-grade (surface) section. There are 18 stations on the line, including 12 underground and 6 elevated ones.[2] Pink Line will have an interchange with the Purple Line at MG Road station. It will also have interchanges with the Yellow line at Jayadeva Hospital station and with the Blue Line at Nagawara. Both these lines are under construction.[3][4]

The entire line is planned to open in two phases where the first phase, covering a total distance of 7.5km stretch (Kalena Agrahara - Tavarekere), is expected to be operational around September 2025, whereas the second phase, covering the remaining distance of 13.8km stretch (Dairy Circle - Nagawara) is expected to be operational around June 2026 (along with Phase 2A of Blue Line).
