Bengaluru's Pink Line Metro Nears Trial Runs with Completion Expected by 2027
Bengaluru's Pink Line metro, the city's longest underground route spanning 13.76 km from Dairy Circle to Nagavara, is in its final construction phase. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited aims to begin trial runs by late 2026, with a revised completion deadline of March 2027. The line includes 12 stations and will connect north and south Bengaluru via MG Road, adding a fourth interchange. While tunneling and track-laying are complete, systems installation—covering electrical, signalling, ventilation, and safety features—has extended the timeline. The 7.5-km elevated section is set to open later this month after delays.
