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 Nagasandra 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.

Once Phase II is completed, the line will stretch from Madavara in northwest to Silk Institute in the South. The length of the line will increase to 34.46 kilometres (21.41 mi). As per latest news updates, Nagasandra-Madavara stretch is most likely to be operational by the end of September 2024 or beginning of October 2024 with the trial runs that took place on August 6, 2024.[2][3][4][5]
