Power Supply Malfunction Causes 90-Minute Halt On Namma Metro Green Line

A power supply malfunction halted services on the Bengaluru Namma Metro's Green Line, which stretches between Nagasandra and the Silk Institute, at 5:33 pm on Tuesday. The outage lasted approximately an hour and a half before power was restored.

The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), which operates the Namma Metro, announced on social media: "Due to a fault in the power supply system from 17:33 hrs, Metro trains on the Green Line are running only between Nagasandra and RV Road metro station. We regret the inconvenience caused."

The BMRCL added, "Restoration work is underway. We are making all efforts to bring normalcy to the Green Line as soon as possible. We regret the inconvenience caused."

Later, the corporation updated: "Power supply has been restored. Train services started from RV Road towards Silk Institute at 19:05 hrs. Normalcy has been restored as per the timetable on the entire Green Line. We regret the inconvenience caused."

During the outage, trains were only running between Nagasandra and RV Road stations, causing significant congestion as passengers gathered at RV Road. The disruption occurred during the evening rush hour, exacerbating the impact on commuters heading home from work.
