Bengaluru Metro Advances with Pink Line Speed Clearance and Blue Line Train Delivery
Bengaluru Metro is advancing its expansion with key developments on two lines. The Pink Line has received a speed clearance certificate from RDSO after successful oscillation and emergency braking tests, enabling trains to run at 90 km/h. BMRCL is preparing for safety approval from the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety, aiming for Bannerghatta Road connectivity by August 15. Meanwhile, the Blue Line has received its first six-coach train from BEML, featuring driverless technology, and will soon begin testing. This line will connect KR Puram to Central Silk Board and extend to the airport, enhancing city connectivity and reducing travel time.
