Complete all pending Namma Metro Phase 2, 2A and 2B lines within one year
“To get all pending metro projects completed under Phase 2, Phase 2A, Phase 2B within one year of coming to power.”
The verdict
The one-year target was missed. In April 2025, 40.41 km of Phase 2's 75.09 km was still under construction; in August 2026 the Pink Line's first stretch was still awaiting launch and the airport (2B) section was targeted for December 2027. Rating based on about 46% of Phase 2 open in April 2025.
Rule applied: Partially kept: 25–49% of the target met → 4
“One year to finish the metro; the metro is still taking the long route.”
