The new Poonamallee Bypass–Vadapalani stretch of Chennai Metro Phase 2 (Corridor 4, Yellow Line) opened on 11 October 2026. Pick your two stations, or tap them on the line map, to see the fare from CMRL's official fare table, how many stops it is, parking at your station and the next scheduled departures.

Fares and timings as published by CMRL on 11 October 2026. Fares are from CMRL's single-journey fare table; the card/digital price is CMRL's 20% discount. Departures follow CMRL's published frequency (P.R. 66/2026), so treat them as approximate. CMRL has not published station-to-station run times, so we don't estimate them.
