Overview

• The Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety started inspecting the 19.15 km Yellow Line between RV Road and Bommasandra on July 22, with the audit report expected within a week.
• Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited will address any CMRS conditions before launching limited passenger services in early to mid-August.
• BMRCL’s chosen phased rollout will initially deploy three trains at 20–25 minute headways across the full 16-station stretch.
• A fourth train is slated to arrive by August 10 and will undergo roughly two weeks of testing prior to entering service.
• Prolonged delays were driven by CRRC’s local manufacturing shortfall, India–China border tensions, FDI constraints and Covid disruptions, leading to a Titagarh Rail Systems partnership for coach supply.
