The first six Pink Line stations open on 13 November 2026, and between them they cover most of south Bengaluru’s big hospitals, colleges and malls on Bannerghatta Road: Apollo and Fortis at IIMB-Bilekahalli, Christ University at Hulimavu and Tavarekere, Nexus Vega City at JP Nagar 4th Phase, Royal Meenakshi Mall at Hulimavu and Kalena Agrahara, and the Jayadeva cardiac hospital at Jayadeva Hospital, where you can also change to the Yellow Line. This guide lists what is within a short walk of each station, with the distance, so you know which stop to get off at.
Every distance below is measured from the station’s own map position to the place, using Google Maps data, and rounded. Walking times assume an easy pace; the real walk is usually a little longer because of road crossings, and station exits have not been published yet.

Five things nobody tells you about the Pink Line stations
- Christ University has two Pink Line stations. The Bannerghatta Road campus is Hulimavu; the central campus is Tavarekere. Check which campus your class is at.
- Royal Meenakshi Mall is between two stations. Hulimavu and Kalena Agrahara are both about 530 m away.
- Rainbow Children’s Hospital is closer to JP Nagar 4th Phase (720 m) than to IIMB-Bilekahalli (860 m), though it is often listed under the latter.
- Jayadeva already has car parking. It is the only Phase 1 station with car parking, because it is an existing Yellow Line station. The new stations have two-wheeler parking only.
- MG Road, Shivajinagar and Nagawara are not on the 13 November line. They are on the underground section, expected around May 2027. See the Pink Line status page.
How to use this on 13 November
Pick whichever of the Pink Line stations is next to where you are going, then check the fare and journey time from your own station in the Pink Line fare and time checker. Expected fares are ₹10 to ₹30 between these six stations and about ₹60 to Majestic; the official chart comes with the launch (our fare chart is updated when it does). For door-to-door routes from anywhere in Bengaluru, use the fare calculator or the Bannerghatta Road commuter guide.
