Namma Metro Fare Calculator

How much does the Namma Metro cost?

A Namma Metro journey costs between ₹10 and ₹90 with a token or QR ticket, depending on how far you travel. BMRCL charges by distance in ten slabs, published when the fares were revised on 9 February 2025. A smart card or NCMC card takes 5% off at peak hours and 10% off at off-peak hours.

Source: BMRCL's fare announcement of 8 February 2025, effective 9 February 2025. The station-to-station fares in the calculator come from the fare enquiry on BMRCL's official website (english.bmrc.co.in), checked for every one of the 3,403 pairs of open stations on 4 October 2026. The longest journeys, 18% of all station pairs, cost the ₹90 maximum.

What are the smart card discounts and off-peak hours?

A smart card or NCMC card gives 5% off the token fare at all times, and 10% off during off-peak hours, on Sundays and on national holidays. The discount is decided by the time you enter the system, not when you leave.

Tokens and QR tickets bought on WhatsApp are charged the full token fare. A smart card costs ₹50, is topped up in multiples of ₹50, and needs a balance of at least ₹90 to enter the system. Groups of 25 to 99 people who enter and leave together at the same stations get 15% off the token fare on a group ticket bought at the counter.

Has the metro fare gone up in 2026?

No. Namma Metro fares in October 2026 are the same as those introduced on 9 February 2025. On 5 February 2026 BMRCL announced a 5% rise under an annual automatic revision, which would have made the minimum fare ₹11 and the maximum ₹95 from 9 February 2026. On 9 February 2026 BMRCL said that announcement had been "kept in abeyance until further orders", and the earlier fares stayed. A proposal reported in July 2026, to raise fares by 12% once every three years instead, has not been adopted. We check this page against BMRCL's fare table and will update it if fares change.

How much is the metro from HSR Layout?

From Bommanahalli, the nearest open metro station to most of HSR Layout, it costs ₹30 to Electronic City, ₹60 to Majestic and ₹90 to Whitefield by token. HSR Layout's own metro stations, on the Blue Line along the Outer Ring Road, are not open yet, so today you board the Yellow Line at Bommanahalli, Hongasandra or Central Silk Board on Hosur Road. Bommanahalli to Electronic City is 6 stops with no change; Bommanahalli to Majestic is 12 stops with a change at RV Road.

The first figure is the token fare; below it are the smart card fare at peak hours, the number of stops, and any change of line. Which of the three stations is closest depends on your sector: Bommanahalli is about 1.1 km on foot from the centre of Sector 6 and 1.5 km from Sector 7. Walking distances for every sector are in our HSR Layout sectors guide, and the full picture of which lines run where, and when the HSR Layout station is expected, is in our HSR Layout metro guide.

Are there Namma Metro day passes?

Yes. BMRCL sells tourist cards for unlimited travel over one, three or five days, priced at ₹300, ₹600 and ₹800 when fares were revised in February 2025. They suit visitors making several trips a day; a commuter making one return journey a day pays less with an ordinary smart card. Day passes are also sold as mobile QR passes in the official Namma Metro app; check the app for the current price before you buy.

Namma Metro ticket rules worth knowing

• Tokens are valid for 30 minutes from purchase for entry, and only on the day you buy them, at the station where you bought them. Re-validating a late token costs ₹5.
• Leave the paid area within 120 minutes of entering if you exit at another station, or within 20 minutes at the same station. Overstaying costs ₹50 an hour, up to ₹100.
• One bag up to 60 × 45 × 25 cm is allowed free per person. Extra or oversized bags need a ₹30 luggage ticket from the customer care centre, or a ₹250 penalty applies.
• Travelling without a ticket costs the maximum token fare plus a ₹200 penalty.

These rules are from BMRCL's published fare rules, checked 4 October 2026.
