When will the ORR metro from Silk Board to KR Puram open?

It is targeted to open in mid-2027, subject to statutory clearances. BMRCL had earlier aimed to open it in 2026. (As reported on 23 October 2026.)

When will the Bengaluru airport metro open?

The Hebbal to airport stretch is not expected to open before September 2027, and BMRCL was aiming to open KR Puram to Hebbal by December 2027. (As reported on 23 October 2026.)

When will Bengaluru's suburban rail start running?

None of its four lines is running. The first, Benniganahalli to Chikkabanavara, is due in December 2028, and the line to Devanahalli and the airport is due in March 2030. (As reported on 1 October 2026.)

When does the Bannerghatta Road metro open?

The 7.5 km elevated stretch from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere was set to open on 13 November 2026. The underground section to MG Road and Nagawara is due in 2027. (As reported on 6 November 2026.)

Bengaluru metro, rail and road project timelines

Launch timing, pricing and absorption in Bengaluru are often planned around a metro line or a road that has not opened yet. This page keeps the current official dates in one place, as reported in BREI's briefings. Each row gives the date it was reported, and links to the briefing behind it.

How to use these dates

Treat a target as a date, not a service. Several of these projects have moved more than once. The ORR metro was aimed at 2026 and is now due in mid-2027. The suburban rail line to the airport is now due in March 2030, 41 months after its original deadline.
Build the base case on what runs today. Absorption and pricing that assume a line will be open at launch carry its schedule risk.
Check land against notifications, not only approvals. An approval does not lift an acquisition notification, and land inside a notified road must stay vacant.
Plan construction logistics around closures. Goods vehicles cannot use the Ballari Road stretch until May 2028.

How this page is kept

A row changes when a BREI briefing reports a new date. The date beside each row is the date of that report, so a row may be older than the page.

BREI applies these timelines to individual sites in its feasibility studies. The supply lined up around each corridor is on the pipeline page.
