Bengaluru Metro Blue Line to Open in Phases, Full Operation by March 2028
Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda announced that the Blue Line of the Bangalore Metro will open in phases, with partial operations starting by mid-2027 and full completion expected by March 2028. The line is divided into two phases, with some stretches delayed due to construction challenges. Trial runs are planned later this year. Additionally, the Pink Line's elevated section is nearly ready, pending railway approval, while its underground portion is expected to be operational after March 2027.
