BEML Ltd., a prominent Indian rail and metro train manufacturer, has inaugurated the prototype manufacturing of its driverless Metro trainsets for the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL).

The new trainsets will feature a six-car formation, designed and developed by BEML’s engineering teams in Bengaluru.
