Central Silk Board is an important, upcoming elevated interchange metro station on the north-south corridor of the Yellow Line and Blue Line[1] of Namma Metro in Bengaluru, India. This metro station serves the Central Silk Board area.

As per latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational between 2nd & 4th weeks of January 2025[2] due to lots of trial runs along with more trainsets which are needed for commencement of operations.[3][4][5][6][7] Meanwhile, the elevated section of Blue Line covering a distance of 58.2km (Central Silk Board - KIAL Terminals via Krishnarajapura), is expected to be operational around June 2026.
