The underground half: Dairy Circle to Nagawara in 2027
The full Pink Line is 21.3 km long with 18 stations, from Kalena Agrahara to Nagawara. The remaining 13.8 km is underground, from Dairy Circle to Nagawara via MG Road and Shivajinagar, and is targeted for 2027. Until then, the elevated stretch works mainly as a feeder from Bannerghatta Road into Jayadeva, where riders can change to the Yellow Line towards Electronic City and RV Road.
Bannerghatta Road buyers: where the line helps, and where it doesn’t
Bannerghatta Road has been one of Bengaluru’s most congested corridors, and the Gottigere, Hulimavu and Arekere end has had no rail link until now. A working metro usually matters most to buyers and tenants in projects within 1 to 2 km of a station. Projects we track near the new stations include Nambiar Villas Bannerghatta Road and Ashwin Sheth Codename Blue near Kalena Agrahara and Hulimavu, and Purva Sparkling Springs and Purva Symphony a little further south. See our Bannerghatta Road area guide for prices and new launches along the line.
Two points to keep in mind: the biggest jump in convenience comes when the underground section reaches MG Road and Shivajinagar in 2027, and station-side homes on a busy elevated corridor can face more noise. Check the exact walking distance from your tower to the station, not just the straight-line figure in a brochure.
