CMRS Starts Three-Day Final Inspection of Bhopal Metro Priority Corridor

A positive report would open the way for the system's first commercial run.

Overview

  • Commissioner Nilabhra Sengupta's team began the final review on November 13 with detailed checks at Subhash Nagar Depot, including signalling, control systems, and the central control room.
  • Inspectors conducted a trolley run at Subhash Nagar and plan a track inspection from Rani Kamlapati to Subhash Nagar before concluding on November 15 with a documentation review.
  • The audit covers operational readiness, passenger safety measures, the Train Control System, fire protection, and amenities across the 6.22 km AIIMS–Subhash Nagar stretch.
  • Finishing work remains pending at several stations, including Subhash Nagar, Kendriya Vidyalaya, DB Mall, Sargam Talkies, Rani Kamlapati, AIIMS, Alkapuri, and DRM Tiraha.
  • Officials note operations can begin only after CMRS clearance, with local reports pointing to a possible December launch, sources suggesting a potential prime ministerial flag-off, and an EIB team in Bhopal for loan discussions.
