The Yellow Line of Namma Metro is almost complete and will form part of the metro rail network for the city of Bangalore, Karnataka, India. The 18.82 km (11.69 mi) line connects R.V. Road with Bommasandra, and is fully elevated with 16 stations.[1] R.V. Road station is the terminal station on the city side where an interchange is being provided with the Green Line. Jayadeva Hospital station will serve as another elevated interchange station with the Pink Line[2] that is also under construction in Phase 2 of Namma Metro's expansion. Upon its opening, the Jayadeva Station will be the tallest and largest metro station in Bengaluru, with five levels of transport, including the metro lines. Central Silk Board station will be another interchange station between the Yellow Line and Blue Line. The other end of the Yellow Line will terminate at Bommasandra.[3] The line was scheduled to open in June 2023, but due to construction delays the new date was estimated to be July 2024.[4][5] As per the latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational between 2nd and 4th week of January 2025.[6][7] This postponement has been attributed to a delay in the delivery of coaches from China.[8]

It is reported that the CMRS for this upcoming line under Namma Metro is scheduled to conduct a full and thorough safely inspection by the end of October 2024.[9][10][11][12]
