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]

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

[edit]

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]
