Kalena Agrahara Metro Station

Kalena Agrahara Metro Station — Pink Line, Namma Metro

Kalena Agrahara Metro Station is an elevated station on the Pink Line of Namma Metro in Bengaluru, at Gottigere, Bannerghatta Road. The Pink Line runs 21.25 km from Kalena Agrahara in the south to Nagawara in the north across 18 stations — six elevated along Bannerghatta Road and twelve underground through central Bengaluru, the longest underground stretch on the network. The line has not yet opened to passengers.

Kalena Agrahara is the southern terminus of the Pink Line, in the Gottigere area at the far end of Bannerghatta Road. As the end of the line it will be the boarding point for commuters coming in from Bannerghatta, Gottigere and the layouts south of the Outer Ring Road, most of whom currently drive or take a bus the whole way into the city.

Kalena Agrahara Metro Station Opening Date

The elevated Phase 1 section, six stations from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere, has not opened. It has slipped repeatedly: from December 2025, to May 2026, to July 2026, to a 15 August 2026 target that was also missed. The remaining blocker is a single independent safety assessment certificate for the signalling system.

Expected opening: Late August or early September 2026 (Phase 1, elevated). Status verified 31 August 2026.
