Bengaluru’s Pink Line Metro ready to roll: Trials, trains, timelines and more

The Pink Line will undergo mandatory Research Designs and Standards Organisation trials before public commissioning, ensuring safety and operational compliance.

RDSO inspection could start by month-end and is expected to take at least two weeks to complete all formalities

RDSO tests assess metro trains and infrastructure for safety, performance, and operational standards before allowing public operations across India.

The 21km Namma Metro Pink Line includes a 13km underground section between Dairy Circle and Nagawara for efficient city connectivity.

The elevated section from Kalena Agrahara to Tavarekere is expected to open by mid-2026, ahead of the full corridor’s completion.

While parts of the Pink Line will start operating mid-year, the entire 21km stretch is slated for public use by December 2026.

Four trainsets have been delivered by BEML, with 4-5 trainsets expected to operate initially on the elevated section of the Pink Line.
