Supreme Court Allows Bangalore Metro Blue Line Construction; Pink Line Safety Review Ongoing
The Supreme Court has permitted the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to continue construction of the Blue Line metro project, overriding a previous status quo order. The Blue Line, with about 84% of work completed, aims for commissioning by June 2027 and will offer interchange at Hebbal with the Airport Line. Meanwhile, safety clearance for the Pink Line's commercial operations remains pending as the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety has flagged 36 issues, with BMRCL working to address them for imminent approval.
