India, May 15 -- The much-delayed Pink Line of Bengaluru's Namma Metro has hit yet another roadblock, with the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) announcing a fresh postponement in its completion timeline.

According to a report by The Hindu, initially slated to be operational in 2020 and later revised to December 2025, the 21.3-km corridor is now expected to be ready in two separate phases, extending well into 2026.

According to BMRCL, the elevated stretch of the line, a 7.5-km segment between Kalena Agrahara on Bannerghatta Road and Tavarekere, will be opened by March 2026.

The more complex underground section, measuring 13.8 km from Dairy Circle to Nagawara, is projected to be completed and operational by September 2026...
