Bengaluru: Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has received the 10th train for the Yellow Line.
All the six coaches of the train set have been unloaded at the Hebbagodi depot. After the track jointing and assembly is completed, the train set will be shifted to the Inspection Bay Line for further tests, a senior BMRLC official said.
The train has to run on the main line for at least 750 km before it can be set for commercial operation, possibly in the third week of May.
Meanwhile, the ninth train that arrived from Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd (TRSL) earlier is undergoing testing and is expected to enter passenger service in early May.
With 10 trains, the peak hour frequency on the 19.75 km RV Road-Bommasandra metro line will be 6-7 minutes. One train will be kept as a backup for emergencies, a senior BMRCL official said.
