BMRCL sets Oct 25 for trial of Bengaluru Metro’s Baiyappanahalli-K R Puram Purple Line stretch

The Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) is attempting to begin trial runs on the much-awaited Purple Line extension from Baiyappanahalli to Whitefield on October 25, said senior officials at the Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation.

The trials of the Purple Line between Baiyappanahalli and K R Puram were initially slated to begin in September, but the BMRCL missed the deadline due to delays reportedly caused by the heavy rainfall in Bengaluru in September. The agency is now targeting the Diwali week for the trial runs of this section.
