  "account": "The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) has received permission from the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) to introduce new six-car CRRC trainsets on the Purple and Green Lines. These trainsets, equipped with Distance-to-Go (DTG) signalling, will be added to BMRCL's existing fleet. The approval allows BMRCL to put four of the 21 ordered trainsets into revenue service, with the remaining 17 expected to be delivered at a rate of two per month. This upgrade is anticipated to enhance train availability during peak hours and alleviate congestion on the two corridors.",
