HSR Layout Metro Station

Is the HSR Layout metro station open?

No. As at August 2026 the HSR Layout metro station is under construction and has never carried passengers. Construction of the section it sits on — Reach 2A Package 1, a 9.859 km stretch — was awarded to Afcons Infrastructure on 13 October 2020.

If a listing, a broker or a blog tells you HSR Layout has metro connectivity today, they are describing something that has not happened yet. The nearest stations you can actually board a train at are Bommanahalli and Hongasandra, on the Yellow Line along Hosur Road.

The station site sits in Sector 6. Sectors 5 and 6 are the two sectors closest to it, both about 0.3 km from their sector centre — our sector-by-sector guide measures the distance from all seven.

Which line is the HSR Layout metro station on?

The Blue Line. This is the single most commonly reported error about the neighbourhood, and it matters because the two lines go to completely different places.

Sources differ slightly on the length of Phase 2A — Wikipedia gives 19.633 km while press reporting commonly rounds it to 19.75 km. Both refer to the same Central Silk Board to Krishnarajapura corridor.

When will the HSR Layout metro station open?

No opening date is confirmed, and the published targets do not agree with each other. Here is every date currently in circulation, with who said it:

The gap between "trial runs in October 2026" and "passenger service in 2027" is not a contradiction — it is the normal sequence. Trains, signalling and power systems are tested first, then the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety inspects the line, and only then can it carry passengers. How long that takes is the variable nobody publishes in advance.

Where exactly is the HSR Layout metro station?

The station is elevated, sits in Sector 6 of HSR Layout on the Outer Ring Road corridor, and is recorded at coordinates 12.91649°N, 77.63304°E. Wikipedia lists its address as AH45, Sector 6, Bengaluru 560034 — the 560034 pin belongs to neighbouring Koramangala, which is a common quirk of addresses along this stretch of the ring road.

It has two side platforms and double track. Trains run toward Central Silk Board in one direction and Agara in the other.

Which stations will the Blue Line connect HSR Layout to?

Phase 2A puts HSR Layout two stops from Silk Board and on the same line as most of the Outer Ring Road tech corridor. The 13 stations, in order:

For anyone working along the ORR, that list is the whole point. Embassy TechVillage, Bellandur, Marathahalli and Doddanekundi all sit on the same line as HSR Layout, with no interchange between them. Those are journeys that today mean the Outer Ring Road at rush hour.

Whitefield is the exception. It is on the Purple Line, so a trip from HSR Layout to Whitefield will mean changing at Krishnarajapura: 11 stops on the Blue Line, then 11 more to Whitefield (Kadugodi). Our guide to HSR Layout to Whitefield measures that route against the road.

The Blue Line does not stop at Krishnarajapura. Phase 2B continues for a further 38.557 km and 16 stations toward Kempegowda International Airport, with interchanges at Nagawara for the Pink Line and Hebbala for the Orange and Red Lines. Our guide to commuting from HSR Layout covers what each of those routes costs you by road today.

Will HSR Layout have more than one metro station?

Yes — two. Alongside HSR Layout station in Sector 6, Agara station is listed at Agara Village, 1st Sector, HSR Layout. It is also elevated, also under construction on Phase 2A, and is planned as an interchange with the proposed Red Line.

In practice that means the northern and southern ends of the layout each get their own station, rather than the whole neighbourhood funnelling through one entrance.

How do you reach the metro from HSR Layout today?

Via Bommanahalli or Hongasandra on the Yellow Line, the nearer of which is 1.1 to 3.2 km on foot from the seven sector centres. Both stations are on Hosur Road along the layout's south-western edge. Sectors 6 and 7 are closest, at about 1.1 km and 1.5 km on foot to Bommanahalli; Central Silk Board is the longest walk from every sector, because reaching it means crossing the Silk Board junction. Walking distances are OpenStreetMap routes from each sector centre, measured 4 October 2026, and every sector's figures are in our guide to HSR Layout's seven sectors. The Yellow Line has been running since 10 August 2025 and covers 19.15 km from RV Road to Bommasandra across 16 stations.

Its service has improved steadily as rolling stock arrived:

The June 2026 improvement came from BMRCL adding two Titagarh-built trainsets, taking the corridor to 10 active rakes. Trains run from about 5 am to 11 pm.

Going south from Central Silk Board, the Yellow Line reaches Bommanahalli, Hongasandra, Kudlu Gate, Singasandra, Hosa Road, Beratena Agrahara, Electronic City, Infosys Foundation Konappana Agrahara, Huskur Road, Biocon Hebbagodi and Delta Electronics Bommasandra. That makes Electronic City reachable by metro from HSR Layout today, provided you first cover the 1.1–3.2 km to Bommanahalli or Hongasandra on foot, or by auto, cab or bus.

Going north it reaches BTM Layout, Jayadeva Hospital, Ragigudda and RV Road, where it meets the Green Line.

A token from Bommanahalli costs ₹30 to Electronic City and ₹70 to MG Road, at BMRCL's fares in force since 9 February 2025; the fare between any two open stations, with smart card discounts, is in our Namma Metro fare calculator.

When the Blue Line opens, Central Silk Board becomes a Blue–Yellow interchange, and an elevated walkway with a travelator has been reported as planned to link the two station boxes.

What will the metro actually change for HSR Layout?

Three things, and it is worth being precise about which:

• The ORR corridor becomes a train ride. Bellandur, Embassy TechVillage, Marathahalli and Doddanekundi move from a traffic-dependent road journey to a fixed-duration one on a single line.
• The trip out to Hosur Road disappears. Today, reaching the Yellow Line means getting out to Bommanahalli or Hongasandra on Hosur Road, or through Silk Board Junction — widely reported as Bengaluru's second-most congested junction after Hebbal — to Central Silk Board. A station inside HSR Layout removes that leg.
• The airport gets a rail option, eventually. Phase 2B extends the Blue Line to Kempegowda International Airport, which is 45–50 km away by road. That is a later phase, not part of the Phase 2A opening.

What it does not change: the layout's internal geography. HSR Layout remains a place where getting from your street to the arterial road is a short auto or walk, and two stations do not make seven sectors walkable to a platform.

Common questions about the HSR Layout metro station

No. As at August 2026 the HSR Layout metro station is under construction and has never carried passengers. It is an elevated station on the Blue Line, part of Phase 2A between Central Silk Board and Krishnarajapura.

The HSR Layout metro station is on the Blue Line of Namma Metro, not the Yellow Line. This is the single most commonly reported error about the neighbourhood. The Yellow Line runs along Hosur Road, and its nearest stations to HSR Layout are Bommanahalli and Hongasandra, both open since August 2025.

No date is confirmed. The station was originally targeted for June 2026 and was revised to around December 2026. BMRCL has said trial runs on the Phase 2A corridor begin in October 2026, and press reporting in 2026 points to passenger service in 2027 once the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety has cleared the line. Treat any specific date as a target, not a commitment.

Bommanahalli and Hongasandra, on the Yellow Line along Hosur Road, are the nearest operational metro stations to HSR Layout. From the seven sector centres, the nearer of the two is 0.7 to 2.4 km in a straight line and 1.1 to 3.2 km on foot by OpenStreetMap walking route, measured 4 October 2026. Central Silk Board is a longer walk from every sector. The Yellow Line opened on 10 August 2025 and runs 19.15 km from RV Road to Bommasandra across 16 stations.

Yes. Two Blue Line stations serve the layout: HSR Layout station, listed at Sector 6, and Agara station, listed at Agara Village, 1st Sector. Agara is also planned as an interchange with the proposed Red Line.

Yes, today, by first reaching Bommanahalli or Hongasandra, the Yellow Line stations nearest HSR Layout. The Yellow Line runs from Central Silk Board south along Hosur Road through Bommanahalli, Kudlu Gate and Hosa Road to Electronic City, Konappana Agrahara, Hebbagodi and Bommasandra. From 3 June 2026 it runs every seven minutes at peak and every ten minutes off-peak.

Phase 2A places HSR Layout on the same line as Prestige Bellandur, Embassy TechVillage Kadubeesanahalli, Kodibeesanahalli, Marathahalli, ISRO and Doddanekundi. Once open it becomes a single-line ride along the Outer Ring Road tech corridor with no interchange.
