Bengaluru Metro Pink Line Delay Due to Pending Signalling Certification
The Bengaluru Metro Pink Line's 7.5-km elevated stretch from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere is expected to miss its August 15 opening, with launch now anticipated in late August or early September. The delay is due to pending final certification of the signalling system, required before mandatory safety inspections. Construction, track laying, and station finishing are mostly complete, and six trains have passed key safety trials. Once operational, the line will expand Bengaluru Metro's network to 103.6 km.
