India Jul 20, 2026

Bengaluru Metro is stepping up its game with bigger fines for breaking rules, starting Sunday, July 19, 2026.

If you trespass on the tracks, expect a hefty ₹20,000 penalty (up from ₹5,000).

Causing a public nuisance, like blasting music or bringing banned items, now costs ₹2,500 instead of just ₹500.

Station staff can issue ₹5,000-₹25,000 fines

Ticket scams and illegal resales could land you fines between ₹5,000 and ₹25,000.

Station staff now have the power to investigate and issue penalties on the spot.

If you think your fine isn't fair, you can appeal within 30 days and get a decision in 60 days.

The new system aims to make metro rides safer and cut down on long court hassles.
