About Purple Line
The Purple Line is Bangalore's original metro line — the first section (Baiyappanahalli to MG Road) opened in October 2011, making Namma Metro India's second operational metro network after Kolkata. It has since extended westward to Kengeri (2021) and Challaghatta (2023), and eastward to Whitefield (2023). The line runs east-west across the city, connecting the western suburbs to the IT hub of Whitefield via Majestic and MG Road — Bangalore's busiest metro corridor by daily ridership.
