A new driverless metro train with six coaches will run on metro line Bangalore. The Bengaluru first Made in India driverless train uses modern CBTC signals to operate without a driver.

Bengaluru Metro has received India’s first locally-made driverless train, manufactured by Titagarh Rail Systems in West Bengal. The Bengaluru metro driverless train will run on the Yellow Line, which is set to open between March and early April.

The new train, built with stainless steel, has modern automatic controls and advanced features. It will run on the Yellow Line, an 18-km route connecting Electronic City to other parts of Bengaluru. This achievement marks an important step forward for India’s metro rail industry.

Housing Minister Manohar Lal praised India’s growing metro system, saying it’s now the world’s third largest and could become bigger than America’s metro rail network within five years.

The new driverless train will arrive in Bengaluru by January 20th. It will then go through two weeks of signal testing. The manufacturer, Titagarh Rail Systems, plans to deliver two more trains by April, just in time for the Yellow Line’s opening.

The company will deliver one train each month at first, then speed up to two trains monthly.  They’re building 34 trains as part of a Rs. 1,578-crore deal. Fifteen trains will run on the Yellow Line, while the rest will serve Bengaluru’s Purple and Green lines.

I did my first solo trip in India with WanderOn. Initially I was sceptical about their Meghalaya-Kaziranga trip as I didn't have any prior experience with them but the team assured me that it's going to be one of the best experiences of my life.

In Ladakh, find the perfect blend of culture, adventure, and serenity. December last year I decided that my next trip would be Ladakh but didn’t know how to go about it. I knew I wanted to travel in a group, as I had prior experiences of traveling in a group but wanted an organiser I could trust. Ladakh isn’t like other destinations wherein you need some instructions due to the high altitudes.

After an amazing trip to Tirthan with WanderOn, I decided to go to Manali-Jispa with them and yet again, the experience was worth every penny. The place was very beautiful and the quality of service was top-notch, the itinerary was very good and the quality of transportation and stays were very good. Had an awesome time there and made some good friends as well. Lastly, our trip captains Priyasha and Rachit managed the entire trip very well and were so fun and made our trip an experience worth remembering.
