The Honourable Raksha Rajya Mantri, Shri Sanjay Seth, today flagged off a new hashtag#driverless MRS-1 Metro trainset at BEML LTD.’s Bangalore plant, marking another milestone in the achievements of BEML’s Rail business division. This trainset is the 55th to be supplied to the Mumbai Metro Rail Metropolitan Authority for operation on Line 2 and Line 7.

BEML is the first Indian rolling stock manufacturer to design, develop, manufacture, and supply driverless trains. The company takes immense pride in supplying these state-of-the-art driverless trains to the prestigious Mumbai Metro Line 2 and Line 7.
