Two weeks ago, BMRCL successfully ran a trial run of the pilotless train, which paved the way for the current signalling tests. These tests are being carried out in a phased manner to ensure a thorough and precise evaluation of the metro's systems. After completing signalling tests, telecommunications and electrical systems will undergo rigorous testing.
