Railway Board sanction clears key hurdle for Bengaluru Metro Pink Line elevated section

The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has received the Railway Board’s sanction for the new BEML trainsets proposed for operation on the elevated section of Bengaluru Metro’s Pink Line.

The sanction is an important prerequisite for commissioning the 7.5-km elevated section and will be included among the documents submitted to the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) for inspection and examination, BMRCL said in a press release on Wednesday (September 23).

“The opening of the elevated section for passenger services will be subject to the mandatory CMRS inspection and authorisation, as per the prescribed procedures,” the release added.
