Yelachenahalli metro station
Namma Metro's Green Line metro station
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yelachenahalli (formerly known as Puttenahalli) is an elevated metro station on the north–south corridor of the Green Line of Namma Metro located on Kanakapura Road between Yelechenahalli and Konanakunte suburbs in Bengaluru, India. It was opened to the public on 18 June 2017.[3]
Namma Metro station
Next to the Yelachenahalli Metro station, stands the electrical switch yard for the metro line. This area was earlier occupied by Shravanthi Kalyana Mantapa. The land was acquired by Namma Metro to build the Yelachenahalli Metro Station. The station also serves the residents of Reserve Bank Layout, Kumaraswamy Layout and adjoining areas.
History
This station was constructed by JMC Projects, part of Reach 4A of Phase 1. The station being closer to Yelachenahalli than Puttenahalli, was renamed to Yelachenahalli metro station in July 2016.[4] This change came after public pressure, which resulted in an expert committee reviewing the issue and concluding the name-change would be appropriate.
The station was the southern terminus of the Green Line until January 2021, when the section Reach 4B of Phase 2 completed construction.[5] This extended the line to the Silk Institute metro station.
