- The 15th and final trainset for Bengaluru metro's Yellow Line, manufactured by Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd., has arrived at the Hebbagodi depot nearly a year after the line's inauguration.
- The six-coach train will undergo assembly, static inspections, and a mandatory 750-km dynamic testing before it can enter commercial service.
- Currently, 10 trains run on the 19.75-km line at peak-hour frequencies of about seven minutes; once all 15 trainsets are commissioned, BMRCL expects trains every four to five minutes, aiming to have the full fleet operational by end of August subject to testing and certification.
- With the Yellow Line order complete, TRSL will now focus on 18 additional trainsets for the Purple and Green Lines.
What to watch next
- Completion of the new trainset's static and 750-km dynamic testing
- Whether BMRCL meets its end-of-August target for the full fleet
- Progress of TRSL's 18 additional trainsets for the Purple and Green Lines
