Location
Location

Garudacharpalya is an elevated metro station on the East-West corridor of the Purple Line of Namma Metro in Bengaluru, India. Around this station holds the Brigade Metropolis followed by some locations like Godrej United, Decathlon Whitefield, Airbus Group India Pvt. Ltd., IDP Education Pvt. Ltd. and many more.

The Whitefield - Krishnarajapura trial runs were successfully conducted from 25 October 2022, for a month. This metro station was inaugurated on March 25, 2023 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and was opened to the public on March 26, 2023.

Garudacharpalya is the receiving terminus for the short-loop train system that runs between it and Mysuru Road in the mornings (approximately between 7:45 am and 9:00 am). During peak travel hours in the morning and evening (approximately 7 am to 11 am and 4 pm to 8 pm), it functions as a terminus for trains with a frequency of about 5 minutes. This is done to ease congestion in the stretches of the Purple Line that most commuters travel between.

The stretch between Garudacharpalya and Hoodi is one of the longer gaps in the Purple Line, with an approximate distance of 1.6 km. For context, the Purple Line has 37 stations and an end-to-end distance of 43.5 km, implying an average gap of 1.2 km between stations.
