Silicon Town, Bengaluru, has had metro access for more than a year, even though some property listings still describe it as “upcoming.” The Yellow Line opened on 10 August 2025, bringing stations such as Electronic City, Konappana Agrahara and Huskur Road within reach of this affordable residential pocket behind Tech Mahindra in Electronic City Phase 2.
The Konappana Agrahara stop now carries a corporate name as well, “Infosys Foundation Konappana Agrahara,” which suits a neighbourhood built around the IT industry. Here’s where Silicon Town sits, how to get around, and what’s close by.
