Bengaluru’s Yellow Line Inches Closer To Operationalisation As BMRCL Receives New Metro Cars

In a key development towards the operationalisation of the long-awaited Yellow Line, the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) on Wednesday (30 April) announced the arrival of three new metro rail cars in the city.

"Marking a significant milestone in the city's metro expansion, BMRCL has moved one step closer to operationalising the much-anticipated Yellow Line, with the latest batch of metro cars being dispatched to Bengaluru," the corporation said in an official statement on X.

The three cars, which form part of the third train set, were successfully shipped from the Titagarh factory, signalling a steady ramp-up in preparations for the new corridor.

BMRCL confirmed that the remaining three cars from this train set will be loaded and transported to Bengaluru by 2 May.

The statement further noted, "With the commissioning of three new trains, BMRCL is accelerating efforts to bring the Yellow Line section into service as soon as possible, enhancing connectivity and streamlining urban transit for commuters."

The additional set of three metro cars is expected to reach the city between May 10 and 15 May, bolstering the Yellow Line fleet further.

The Yellow Line, which spans from RV College to Bommasandra near Electronic City, has been structurally ready for several months but is yet to commence operations.
