The Whitefield - Krishnarajapura trial runs were successfully conducted from 25 October 2022 for a month.[4] This metro station was inaugurated on March 25, 2023 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was opened to the public on March 26, 2023.[5][6][7][8][9]

The stretch between Singayyanapalya and Krishnarajapura is one of the longer gaps in the Purple Line, with an approximate distance of 1.75 km. For context, the Purple Line has 37 stations and an end-to-end distance of 43.5 km, implying an average gap of 1.2 km between stations. This was because there was originally planned to be another station (Narayanapura) between the two, the cancellation of which prompted the Krishnarajapura metro to be moved approximately 300 metres westward, towards Singayyanapalya.[10]
