Central Silk Board station will be another interchange station between the Yellow Line and Blue Line. The other end of the Yellow Line will terminate at Bommasandra.[3] The line was scheduled to open in June 2023, but due to construction delays, it was scheduled around July 2024.[4][5] But now as per latest reports, the Yellow Line will be operational from November 2024.
