Bengaluru Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has planned to conduct a comprehensive overhaul and replacement of parts for the aging Namma Metro trains due to recurring technical issues. The plan involves inspecting and repairing major components and replacing necessary parts on the 57 trains operating on the Purple and Green lines. BMRCL aims to save approximately ₹35 crore per train by repairing old trains instead of purchasing new ones.
