After repeatedly missing deadlines, the 7.5-kilometer Kalena Agrahara–Tavarekere segment of Bengaluru Metro's Pink Line is now ready for inauguration, according to Greater Bengaluru Development Minister Krishna Byre Gowda.

Mr. Gowda stated that the stretch is prepared to open to the public and will be officially inaugurated once the Government of India provides a date. "We are ready. As soon as the date is given by the Government of India, this stretch will be inaugurated and opened to people for commuting," he said on Wednesday.
