Namma Metro Phase 3 Faces Approval Delays and Possible Corridor Changes
Namma Metro Phase 3 in Bengaluru faces delays and potential changes. The Karnataka government’s proposal for a 37 km double decker corridor, allowing metro and road traffic on separate levels, awaits Centre's approval amid concerns over financial viability and reduced economic returns. Meanwhile, the 7.5 km Pink Line elevated section may miss its September opening due to pending rolling stock and safety clearances. BMRCL emphasizes that operations will start only after all statutory approvals are secured.
