PM Modi to launch Bengaluru Metro's Yellow Line, new Vande Bharat Express
Prime Minister Narendra Modi is set to inaugurate Bengaluru's long-awaited Yellow Line Metro, a corridor that will finally connect the crucial Electronics City area to the rest of the network.
The event will also see the launch of the Bengaluru–Belagavi Vande Bharat Express.
Authorities have prepared extensively for PM Modi's visit, with the Bengaluru traffic police issuing detailed guidelines to ensure smooth movement around the inauguration venues.
Following the formal flag-off, PM Modi is expected to address residents of the city.
The Yellow Line is being hailed as a “game-changer” for Bengaluru’s southern stretch, particularly for areas where rapid residential and industrial growth has long outpaced public transport capacity.
It will link residential hubs, tech parks, and manufacturing zones, potentially easing notorious congestion at choke points like Silk Board Junction.
PM Modi will be landing at the HAL Airport here at 10.30 am.
He will then travel by helicopter and road to the KSR Bengaluru (city) railway station, where he will flag off Vande Bharat Express train between KSR Bengaluru-Belagavi.
He will also virtually flag off two more Vande Bharat Express trains between Amritsar-Sri Mata Vaishno Devi Katri, and Ajni (Nagpur)-Pune.
