Kolkata Metro Pink Line

Metro Railway Kolkata has launched a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) on the underground portion of its Blue Line. The move is aimed at improving energy efficiency and ensuring commuter safety during unexpected power outages.

Metro Railway Kolkata has invited bids for a major infrastructure modernization project costing ₹345.76 crore. The first phase of the project will include replacement and upgrade of equipment at 750V DC traction substations, replacement and upgrade of third rail and power cables, and upgrade of 11 kV auxiliary substations to 33 kV auxiliary substations.

Kolkata Metro has started broadcasting an audio message at several stations on the North-South corridor, urging commuters not to commit suicide and seek professional help during mental health crises.

The Kolkata Metro's major corridors have been allocated a mix of funding this year, with some lines seeing a slight increase in funding while others have seen a decrease. The Orange Line, connecting New Garia to the airport, has been allocated ₹705.5 crore (705.5 million rupees). This is a slight decline from last year's ₹720 crore (720 million rupees). In contrast, the Purple Line, running from Joka to Esplanade, received ₹906 crore (906 million rupees), a slight increase from last year's ₹901 crore (901 million rupees). The Green Line, or East-West Metro, which is already operational over a 16.6-kilometer route, has been allocated ₹529 crore (529 million rupees), up from last year's ₹500 crore (500 million rupees).

कोलकाता की पर्पल लाइन मेट्रो परियोजना ने एक महत्वपूर्ण उपलब्धि हासिल की है क्योंकि 1847 में स्थापित प्रतिष्ठित कोलकाता रेस कोर्स के हिस्से, रॉयल कलकत्ता टर्फ क्लब (आरसीटीसी) के नीचे सुरंग निर्माण कार्य आगे बढ़ा है| दुर्गा नाम की पहली टीबीएम ने 10 जुलाई 2025 को एस्प्लेनेड की ओर जाने वाली सुरंग की खुदाई शुरू की और लगभग 600 मीटर की खुदाई करने के बाद नवंबर के अंत तक आरसीटीसी तक पहुंच गई।
