Green Line of Namma Metro was built along with the Purple Line during the first phase of construction of the metro rail system for the city of Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. The 30.5 km (19.0 mi) line connects Madavara in the northwest to Silk Institute in the south. The line connects the industrial centers of Peenya and Yeshwanthpur in the north with the central hub of Majestic and the southern residential areas of Bangalore (Basavanagudi, Jayanagar, Banshankari, Thalaghattapura, Kanakapura Road etc.). Green Line is mostly elevated, with 26 elevated and 3 underground stations. The Line passes through Majestic station which is an interchange station between Green and Purple Lines.

After Phase II was completed, the line extended its stretch from Madavara in northwest to Silk Institute in the South. The length of the line increased to 34.46 kilometres (21.41 mi). Nagasandra-Madavara stretch was inaugurated on November 6 2024 without any inauguration ceremony[2][3][4] with the commercial run started from November 7 2024.[5][6][7][8] This stretch will be formally inaugurated at a later stage.
