Overview
- BMRCL says rolling stock type tests on the 7.5 km Kalena Agrahara–Tavarekere elevated stretch will run from January 11 to mid-April 2026.
- The test plan covers traction and brake assessments, oscillation trials at varied speeds, and integration with signalling, power and telecommunication systems.
- Media reports indicate trial runs are already being conducted to check track alignment, signalling and safety standards.
- The full Pink Line spans 21.25 km from Kalena Agrahara to Nagawara, with the elevated segment expected to open around May 2026 and the underground portion by late 2026, subject to approvals.
- BMRCL reiterates a safety-first approach ahead of commissioning, while fares remain unannounced and are expected to mirror Namma Metro’s distance-based structure.
