Bengaluru’s rapid transit system reached a significant milestone today as the much-anticipated trial run on the Kengeri-Chellaghatta Metro Line began. The trial run marks a major step forward in the expansion of the city’s metro network and promises to enhance connectivity for residents and commuters in the region.
The trial run, conducted at a slow speed to ensure safety and monitor infrastructure performance, started from Kengeri and will continue along the entire route up to Chellaghatta. This initial phase allows authorities to assess various critical factors, including track alignment, signalling systems, rolling stock, and station functionality, in preparation for the line’s full-fledged operations.
The Kengeri-Chellaghatta Metro Line, part of the Namma Metro Phase 2 project, is poised to be a game-changer for Bengaluru’s transportation landscape. Once operational, it is expected to ease traffic congestion, reduce commute times, and offer a more eco-friendly alternative to private vehicles.
Mr. [Official’s Name], spokesperson of Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL), expressed enthusiasm over the trial run and its implications for the city.

The Kengeri-Chellaghatta Metro Line, spanning approximately 1.9-km kilometers, will connect several prominent localities, educational institutions, and commercial hubs along its route. The line is expected to have a positive impact on real estate development and stimulate economic growth in the areas it serves.
The Namma Metro Phase 2 project has been a testament to the city’s commitment to sustainable and efficient public transportation. The integration of advanced technology, modern amenities, and eco-friendly measures will ensure a world-class metro experience for Bengaluru’s residents.
As the trial run progresses, safety remains the top priority for the BMRCL. The necessary precautions and checks are being meticulously conducted to ensure a smooth and secure operational phase.
The citizens of Bengaluru are eagerly awaiting the full-fledged launch of the Kengeri-Chellaghatta Metro Line, which is anticipated to revolutionize public transportation in the city. The line’s completion will be a significant step towards realizing the vision of a comprehensive metro network that caters to the ever-growing needs of Bengaluru’s expanding population.
With the successful commencement of the trial run, the BMRCL is closer than ever to introducing a reliable, sustainable, and time-saving commuting option for thousands of daily passengers, thus heralding a new era of urban mobility in the bustling metropolis of Bengaluru.
