IndiaGreater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda announced updated timelines for the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited’s (BMRCL) Blue Line (Airport line). The full operation of the Blue Line, currently under construction in two phases (2A and 2B), is now projected to be completed by March 2028. However, parts of the line, specifically Phase 2A (Silk Board to K.R. Puram), are expected to open by mid-2027, while the Hebbal to Airport segment (Phase 2B) will open by September 2027. The stretch between Hebbal and Nagawara will remain under development due to challenges like constructing an interchange station. Additionally, trial runs on specific segments of the Blue Line are scheduled for late 2026. Regarding the Pink Line, which spans 21 km with an elevated section already complete, the minister mentioned delays and hinted at potential opening in early 2027. The Pink Line, costing ₹12,000 crore, is seen as crucial for connecting central Bengaluru.
