'''Green Line''' of [[Namma Metro]] was built along with the Purple Line during the first phase of contruction of the [[Rapid transit|metro]] rail system for the city of [[Bengaluru]], [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. The 30.5 km line connects Nagasandra in the northwest to Silk Institute in the south. The line connects the industrial centers of [[Peenya]] and [[Yelahanka]] in the north with the central hub of [[Majestic, Bangalore|Majestic]] and the southern residential areas of Bangalore ([[Basavanagudi]], [[Jayanagar, Bangalore|Jayanagar]], [[Banashankari|Banshankari]] etc.). Green Line is mostly elevated, with 26 elevated stations and 3 underground stations. The Line passes through [[Majestic metro station|Majestic station]] which is an interchange station between Green and [[Purple Line (Namma Metro)|Purple Lines]].

When Phase II is completed, the line will stretch from Madavara in northwest to Silk Institute in the South. The length of the line will increase to {{Convert|33.5|km|mi}}.

TBM ''Godavari'' began drilling the 970-metre underground section between Sampige Road and Majestic stations in April 2014. ''Godavari'' broke down a few months later, and needed to have its cutter head replaced. The machine broke down due to tough terrain including hard rock and boulders. The cutter head had to be imported from Italy. The machine restarted work in September 2015. ''Godavari'' completed drilling and emerged on the Majestic station end of the tunnel on 19 April 2016.<ref>{{cite web|title=Godavari sees light - Bangalore Mirror -|url=http://www.bangaloremirror.com/bangalore/others/Godavari-sees-light/articleshow/51899949.cms|website=Bangalore Mirror|access-date=20 April 2016}}</ref><ref name="indiatimes">{{cite web|title=Bengaluru: East-west corridor from Byappanahalli to Mysuru Road may open next week - The Economic Times|url=http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/transportation/railways/bengaluru-east-west-corridor-from-byappanahalli-to-mysuru-road-may-open-next-week/articleshow/51905831.cms|access-date=10 April 2017|publisher=economictimes.indiatimes.com}}</ref> Meanwhile, ''Kaveri'' and ''Krishna'' continued drilling the underground section between National College and Nadaprabhu Kempegowda station.
