After years of anticipation, Bengaluru's Yellow Line Metro is nearing completion. The Bangalore Metro rail agency (BMRCL) has secured approval from the Railway Board for its rolling inventory.
This marks a widespread leap forward for the 19. 15-km hall linking R.V. Street to Bommasandra. The line is predicted to beautify connectivity to electronic metropolis Bengaluru's IT hub, with partial operations slated for June.
Trial runs on the Yellow Line began on march 7, 2024, with the usage of the available train units. BMRCL is now within the very last stages, looking forward to regulatory inspections and making ready for phased operations. As soon as it is operational, this line will extensively improve connectivity in south Bengaluru, benefiting commuters from wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW'>digital City, Bommasandra, and HSR Layout.
Regulatory Inspections Awaited
A senior official said that most documentation has been submitted and signaling certification will quickly be dispatched. This inspection is crucial before any metro corridor can open to the public and will assess crucial systems like tracks, stations, fire protection measures, education units, and access/exit points.
Following the CMRS inspection, BMRCL plans to put in force any vital adjustments within two weeks. This paves the way for a mid- to overdue june launch of offerings among 5 main stations to start with. Full-scale operations will start as soon as all final approvals are secured.
Challenges in educating set deliveries
The bodily infrastructure of the Yellow Line was completed months ago, but delays in education set deliveries have hindered development. Currently, two education sets are ready, with a third anticipated quickly. Those delays have been, in most cases, because of problems with driverless coaches.
In 2019, the CRRC organization of china won a Rs 1,578-crore contract to supply 216 metro coaches but did not establish manufacturing in india as required. This brought about extensive shipping delays and compelled BMRCL to, do not forget, invoke a Rs 372-crore financial institution assurance.
To address these demanding situations, CRRC partnered with Titagarh rail Structures in Kolkata. Even though this collaboration resumed stalled deliveries, development remained slow. Despite these setbacks, BMRCL is constructively approximating launching partial operations soon.
