The Green Line is Bengaluru’s north–south line. It runs about 33.5 km from Madavara in the north-west to Silk Institute on Kanakapura Road, through Yeshwanthpur, Majestic, Jayanagar and Banashankari. Madavara is the last station at the northern end, so every train from here runs towards Silk Institute.

Exits, parking and getting around

The station is in Madavara (PIN 560073), on the Tumakuru Road side next to BIEC. Exit names and parking details have not been confirmed in official sources, so follow the signboards at the station and ask the station staff about parking before you drive in. The station lies close to the point where NICE Road meets Tumakuru Road, which makes it reachable from both the city side and the Nelamangala side. Autos, cabs and buses run along Tumakuru Road.

Fares, tickets and timings

Fare: Namma Metro fares are ₹10 to ₹90 by distance, after the February 2025 revision. BMRCL announced a 5% rise (to ₹11 to ₹95) from 9 February 2026 but put it on hold the day before. In July 2026, reports said BMRCL was studying a 12% revision once every three years instead; no new fare has been notified.
Tickets: buy QR tickets on the official Namma Metro app or WhatsApp ticketing, at ticket machines or at the counter.

Madavara is on the north-western edge of the city, where the city meets the Nelamangala belt. The area has a mix of apartment projects, plotted layouts, warehouses and industrial units.

The metro now gives this corridor a direct link to Yeshwanthpur and Majestic.

It has not been approved for construction, so do not base a purchase on it.

Before you rent or buy near Madavara

Check who governs the land. Areas near the city edge can fall under a Greater Bengaluru Authority city corporation, a gram panchayat or another body. Find out who issues the khata and collects tax.
Check the land records. For plots and houses, check the RTC on Bhoomi, the khata, the conversion order (from agricultural use) and the encumbrance certificate.
Check layout approval. Ask for the approved layout plan from the planning authority for the area. Avoid plots in unapproved layouts.
Check RERA for new projects. Look up any new apartment or plotted project on the Karnataka RERA website before you book.
Check the guideline value. Stamp duty in Karnataka is charged on the deal value or the guideline value, whichever is higher.
Put the lease in writing. Sign a rent agreement with the rent, deposit, notice period and maintenance clearly listed.
