In another update regarding the Namma metro, BMRCL has started third rail electrification testing on a key stretch of the upcoming Pink Line. The trials are currently being conducted between Jayadeva and Tavarekere, covering a 7.5 kilometre elevated section.

This phase marks the first time trains on the Pink Line will draw power through a third rail — a rail positioned alongside the track that supplies electricity directly. This is a significant development ahead of eventual passenger services.
