BENGALURU (Metro Rail News): The much-anticipated Yellow Line of the Bengaluru Metro Project has achieved a major milestone with the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) granting statutory safety clearance. This approval paves the way for the commencement of operations along the 19.15 km corridor, which links R.V. Road in the north to Bommasandra in the south.
However, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) must first address the conditions outlined by the CMRS during the inspection. These conditions pertain to various technical and safety aspects that must be rectified or fulfilled before commercial operations can commence. Once these requirements are met, BMRCL will submit a compliance report to the CMRS. Only after this final approval will the Yellow Line be opened for public use.
The CMRS inspection for the Yellow Line was conducted in July 2025 under the leadership of Shri A.M. Chowdhary, Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety. During the inspection, all critical systems, including traction systems, signalling, track infrastructure, viaducts, and the Passenger Information System (PIS) were thoroughly examined to ensure operational readiness and safety compliance.

The inauguration of the Yellow Line is likely to take place on 15 August 2025, coinciding with the 79th Independence Day celebrations. However, the official launch date for commercial operations is yet to be formally announced.
The Yellow Line of Namma Metro faced delays primarily due to the unavailability of rolling stock. So far, Titagarh Rail Systems has delivered three trainsets, while one prototype trainset was supplied earlier by CRRC.
To begin with, the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) plans to start operations with four trainsets, ensuring the line becomes operational without further delay.
