L&T Metro Rail Managing Director, KVB Reddy, announced that new trains would be purchased to handle the growing crowd in metro trains. These additional trains are expected to arrive within 18 months of placing the order.

HMR Managing Director, NVS Reddy, also mentioned that the metro rail would provide passengers with the chance to showcase their skills in art, literature, and culture. Spacious stations like MGBS would have designated areas for passengers to exhibit their talents.
On the occasion of the Sankranti festival, the ‘MeTimeOnMy Metro’ campaign was launched, and NVS Reddy announced plans to develop key station junctions and spacious areas into special hubs and international centers.
