What's pending
The first 7.5 km section (Kalena Agrahara–Tavarekere, 6 stations) is construction-complete and trial-run stage; commercial opening is awaiting the Government of India's confirmation of an inauguration date, as reported by Newskarnataka on 2026-09-03 and still unopened per that report as of 2026-08-26. The remaining Dairy Circle–Nagawara stretch is expected around March 2027, per The Metro Rail Guy.
History
- sanctioned
₹578.7 cr Part figure: Reach 6 elevated section contract only (original, terminated) [1]
Funder: state · FY 2017-18
Context
Reach 6 elevated section (Dairy Circle Ramp–Kalena Agrahara, 7.5 km, 5 stations) awarded to Simplex Infrastructures; contract later terminated 2021-02-04 for poor progress (~35-37% complete against a 27-month deadline) — see events and the replacement contract below
- Awarded

- sanctioned
₹1,771.25 cr Part figure: One underground civil works package only (4.59 km, 4 stations) [2]
Funder: state · FY 2019-20
Context
ITD Cementation India's underground civil works package: 4.59 km, 4 stations (Tannery Road, Venkateshpura, Arabic College, Nagawara), awarded "November 2019" per source (exact day not stated, as_of set to month start). This is one of at least two underground packages on the Pink Line — a second package (Dairy Circle–Langford Town–MICO Industries, won by Afcons Infrastructure) exists but its exact awarded value was not confirmed in this collection pass, so it is not recorded as a separate figure here.
- Stalled
BMRCL terminated Simplex Infrastructures' ₹578.70 crore Reach 6 elevated-section contract citing poor progress — civil work had reached about 35-37% completion against a 27-month deadline that began in September 2017. [1]
- Bid received
GR Infraprojects emerged lowest bidder among three qualified firms for the remaining Reach 6 work, at ₹364.87 crore. [3]
- sanctioned
₹364.87 cr Part figure: Reach 6 elevated section replacement contract only [3]
Funder: state · FY 2021-22
Context
Replacement contract for the same Reach 6 elevated section, awarded to GR Infraprojects (lowest bidder, about 7.56% above BMRCL's own ₹339.21 cr estimate) after Simplex Infrastructures' contract was terminated
- sanctioned
₹405 cr Part figure: Seven additional trainsets only [4]
Funder: state · FY 2024-25
Context
BEML variation order for 7 additional six-coach driverless trainsets specifically for the Pink Line (part of a larger, separate 53-trainset/₹3,177 cr system-wide BEML contract awarded 2023-08-07, which is not recorded here since it is not Pink-Line-specific)
Sanctioned, released and spent are different things: an allocation is not evidence money was spent. Part figures cover one contract, loan or package and are never used as the project's cost.

Notes and caveats
Corporation set to Central as a placeholder — this corridor spans Central/South/North; not yet mapped to wards. Money timeline is package-level, not a single project total: ₹405 cr for trainsets, plus individual civil-works contract values for the Reach 6 elevated section (originally ₹578.70 cr to Simplex Infrastructures, terminated 2021-02-04 at ~37% complete for poor progress, re-awarded at ₹364.87 cr to GR Infraprojects) and one of the underground packages (₹1,771.25 cr, ITD Cementation). A Wikipedia-reported aggregate figure of ₹5,925.95 cr for all underground tunneling packages combined, and a ₹9,508.33 cr total-line figure covering all phases, are not recorded here as this site has not independently verified either total against a primary or directly-fetched source — only the individually-confirmed package values above are on file. No figure exists yet for the remaining underground package (Dairy Circle–Langford Town–MICO Industries, Afcons Infrastructure).
