CRRC cooperates to build trains! Modi unveils the Bangalore Metro Yellow Line!

On August 10, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi officially unveiled the Bangalore Metro Yellow Line and laid the foundation stone for the ambitious third phase of the expansion project.

The opening of the Yellow Line – a "game changer" for commuters

As part of the Bangalore Metro Phase II, the newly opened Yellow Line is 19 km long and connects RV Road (Ragigudda) to Bommasandra with 16 stations along the line. With a total investment of Rs 716 billion, the project connects important business, technology and education hubs including Basavanagudi and Electronic City.

With the opening of the Yellow Line, the Bangalore Metro's operational network extends to over 96 kilometers, serving more commuters and significantly reducing travel times between core residential and industrial areas.

Prime Minister Modi pointed out that the new line will improve the ease of life and work for hundreds of thousands of residents, especially professionals traveling to and from the e-city.

Titagarh has partnered with CRRC – powering the Yellow Line

Manufactured by Titagarh in collaboration with CRRC, the Yellow Line's world-class trains meet international standards in safety, comfort, and efficiency from design to delivery.

The third phase of the project laid the foundation for building a future-oriented subway network

At the unveiling ceremony, Prime Minister Modi also laid the foundation stone for the Bangalore Metro Phase III project. With a total investment of over Rs 1.561 trillion, the project will add 44 km of metro lines and 31 elevated stations covering residential, industrial, commercial and educational areas.

The third phase will not only meet the needs of Bangalore's rapidly growing population but also reduce reliance on road traffic, helping to alleviate traffic congestion and lower carbon emissions.
