Bengaluru Metro's Pink Line Safety Issues Delay Opening; Underground Trials Planned
Bengaluru Metro's Pink Line faces 36 safety and technical issues flagged by the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety on the 7.5-km elevated Kalena Agrahara-Tavarekere stretch, delaying its opening. BMRCL is addressing these concerns and awaiting clearance. Meanwhile, trial runs for the Pink Line's underground section and the Blue Line's Outer Ring Road corridor are expected to start in November, with both targeted to open by May 2027. Installation and integration of platform screen doors remain key challenges for the underground segment.
