'''Kudlu Gate''' is an elevated metro station on the North-South corridor of the [[Yellow Line (Namma Metro)|Yellow Line]] of [[Namma Metro]] in [[Bengaluru]], India.

== History ==
In December 2016, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) issued a call for bids to construct the Kudlu Gate metro station along the 6.385 km Reach 5 – Package 2 section (Hosa Road - Bommanahalli) of the 18.825 km Yellow Line of Namma Metro. On 25 April 2017, ITD-ITD Cementation [[Joint venture|JV]] was selected as the lowest bidder for this stretch, with their bid closely aligning with the original cost estimates.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2017-04-25 |title=ITD-ITD Cem JV Lowest Bidder for B'lore Metro's Hosa Rd - HSR Layout |url=https://themetrorailguy.com/2017/04/25/itd-itd-cem-jv-lowest-bidder-for-blore-metros-hosa-rd-hsr-layout/ |access-date=2024-10-24 |website=The Metro Rail Guy |language=en-US}}</ref> Consequently, the contract was successfully awarded to the company, which then commenced construction of the metro station in accordance with the agreements.

The [[Yellow Line (Namma Metro)|Yellow Line]] began operations from 10 August 2025 and has been officially inaugurated by Prime Minister [[Narendra Modi]], with four trainsets which are ready for operations after arriving from [[Titagarh Rail Systems]] in Kolkata.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Mishra |first=Anupriya |date=2025-08-10 |title=As PM Narendra Modi Inaugurates Namma Metro Yellow Line, Here’s All About This New Route |url=https://curlytales.com/india/ct-scoop/as-pm-narendra-modi-inaugurates-namma-metro-yellow-line-heres-all-about-this-new-route/ |access-date=2025-08-10 |website=Curly Tales |language=en-US}}</ref>'''<ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-08-03 |title=PM Modi to inaugurate Bengaluru metro Yellow Line, launch Phase-3 expansion on August 10 |url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/bangalore/pm-modi-inaugurate-bengaluru-metro-yellow-line-august-10-10166672/ |access-date=2025-08-03 |website=The Indian Express |language=en}}</ref>'''<ref>{{Cite web |title=Namma Metro Yellow Line Updates, Metro Delay Bengaluru: Yellow Line Launch Pushed to July-End Amid Snags {{!}} Bengaluru Metro News |url=https://www.deccanherald.com/india/karnataka/bengaluru/yellow-line-delayed-again-won-t-open-before-july-end-3558406 |access-date=2025-05-27 |website=Deccan Herald |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=27 May 2025 |title=Bengaluru's Yellow Line Metro faces further delay, unlikely to open before July-end: Report |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/bengaluru-news/bengalurus-yellow-line-metro-faces-further-delay-unlikely-to-open-before-july-end-report-101748327183616.html |access-date=27 May 2025 |website=Hindustan Times}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-06 |title=Bengaluru Namma Metro Update: Yellow Line Operations To Start In June {{!}} Check Status, Key Stations |url=https://www.thedailyjagran.com/india/bengaluru-namma-metro-update-yellow-line-operations-to-start-in-june-check-status-key-stations-10228542 |access-date=2025-04-06 |website=English Jagran |language=en}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=2025-04-05 |title=Bengaluru Metro Yellow Line: Operations To Start By June?
