Electronic City - II is an upcoming elevated metro station on the Yellow Line of the Namma Metro in southern Bengaluru, India, being built to serve the Information technology hub in Anekal suburb. This will be the first metro station in the Namma Metro network to feature Platform screen doors (PSDs).[1]

Alongside the metro station is the Electronic City Elevated Expressway connecting Central Silk Board to Electronic City, including the Infosys campus and Wipro Floating Learning Centre. To the north, the Yellow Line will lead to Konappana Agrahara and to the south to Bommasandra, Attibele and Hosur, an industrial city in Tamil Nadu.

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]
