Electronic City 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 suburban area.

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 is Bommasandra, Attibele and Hosur, an industrial city in Tamil Nadu.

As per latest reports, the Yellow Line is slated to be operational around May 2025 [1] [2] instead of April 2025 [3] which was announced by the Karnataka Deputy Chief Minister and Bengaluru Development Minister DK Shivakumar and with four trainsets which will be ready for operations after arriving from Titagarh Rail Systems in Kolkata.

History

In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Electronic City metro station along the 6.418 km Reach 5 – Package 1 section (Bommasandra - Hosa Road) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 March 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation JV was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates. [4] Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.
