Yelachenahalli metro station is located on Kanakapura Road between Yelechenahalli and Konakakunte suburbs. 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 Puttenahalli Metro Station.
Once operational, it will help the residents commute to Majestic Station. Currently, most BMTC buses that service these areas, follow routes to the KR Market terminus. As a result, residents have to switch at Banashankari or JP Nagar 6th Phase to board buses to Majestic and other parts of the city. This metro station will also serve the residents of Reserve Bank Layout, Kumaraswamy Layout, ISRO Layout and neighborhoods beyond Konakunte, like Kaggalipura.
The metro station was initially named Puttenahalli Metro station. The station being closer to Yelachenahalli than Puttenahalli, was renamed to Yelachenahalli Metro station in July 2016, prior to commencement of operations on this stretch of the metro line.
