Namma Metro Yellow Line Work To Kick Off January 6: Traffic Relief In THESE Bengaluru Areas Soon

After facing multiple setbacks and delays, the work on Bengaluru's Namma Metro Yellow Line is finally set to commence from January 6. Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya announced on Thursday that the first train is ready to be dispatched to Bengaluru in the first week of January. The Yellow Line will connect RV Road to Bommasandra, covering key locations such as Electronics City, home to major companies like Infosys and Biocon.

Surya provided details about the train delivery schedule, stating that Titagarh Rail Systems will initially deliver one train per month. "The first train will be dispatched to Bengaluru on January 6. Titagarh has committed to delivering the second train by the end of January or early February, and the third by April. Thereafter, one train will be delivered per month, increasing to two trains per month by September," Surya explained in a post shared on X (formerly Twitter). He also urged the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) to secure all CMRS approvals simultaneously to avoid further delays.

Surya also revealed that he has requested the Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) to visit the Titagarh Rail Systems manufacturing plant on January 6 to flag off the first train. "I have invited the Hon. MoHUA Minister to visit the plant, flag off the trains, and inspect the facility to expedite the process further. I will also be present in Kolkata for the event," he stated.

Acknowledging public frustration over the repeated delays, Surya said the significance of this development. "As you all know, the start of the Namma Metro Yellow Line operations has failed to meet the deadlines set by BMRCL, leading to widespread disappointment. The primary cause of the delay has been the unavailability of trains. However, there is finally some positive news on this front," he added.
