Bengaluru: Namma Metro has received the fourth train for the Pink Line whose elevated section it aims to open this May.
The six-coach trainset arrived at the Kothanur depot, Bannerghatta Road, from BEML's New Thippasandra plant on March 13, a senior BMRCL official said.
The trainset has been moved to the Inspection Bay Line (IBL) for necessary tests.
The PSU rolled out the Pink Line's prototype train on December 11, 2025, and then dispatched two more trains in February.
The BMRCL is in the process of receiving statutory clearances for the prototype.

Third DTG train
Meanwhile, Kolkata-based Titagarh Rail Systems Limited (TRSL) has dispatched a second DTG train for the Purple and Green lines.
The trainset's three coaches were dispatched on March 13 and three more the following night. The train is expected to reach the Peenya depot later this month.
These two trains, along with the China-made prototype delivered in January 2025, will be inducted into the Purple and Green lines by May-June to ease peak-hour overcrowding, another senior BMRCL official said.
The Purple and Green lines currently have 57 trains.
