BMRCL Obtains Interim Speed Certificate for Pink Line Metro Trains
The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has received an interim speed certificate from the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) for new trains on the Pink Line. This follows successful oscillation and emergency brake trials on the elevated Kalena Agrahara-Tavarekere stretch. The certificate will aid in obtaining Railway Board approval and subsequent safety authorization from the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety. The Pink Line, about 21.3 km long, includes elevated and underground sections connecting key city areas, with phased completion expected by early 2027.
