Bengaluru: Electronics City and other parts of southern Bengaluru will get metro connectivity only after the general elections as against the latest deadline of February 2024.
The prototype train for the Yellow Line is expected to be shipped from China on Thursday and reach the city in January, according to Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL).
A senior official in the BMRCL confirmed that the decks had been cleared for the shipment of the six-coach trainset.
After receiving the prototype train, the BMRCL will need at least three months to conduct the necessary trial runs and get approvals for commercial operations, its Chief Public Relations Officer BL Yashavanth Chavan said.
