Bengaluru Metro Phase II Expansion Faces Delays, Cost Overruns

The Bengaluru Metro is building new train tracks, but it's taking much longer than expected.

Almost a decade after starting, a large part of the new tracks is still not done.

This is because of problems with getting land, deciding who would build the tracks, changing plans, and even the pandemic.

Because it's taking longer, the project costs a lot more money.

The Yellow Line is ready for trains, but the trains haven't arrived yet.

The Pink Line won't be finished until 2026.

In the meantime, there was a 5-hour disruption on the Purple line.
