Sindh High Court sets October 2027 deadline for delayed BRT line
What happened
The Sindh High Court expects the BRT Red Line to be operational by October 2027. Construction on the line, which began in early 2022, has faced multiple delays, with the project originally promised for completion in 2023, 2024, and the end of 2026. The project's cost has risen from an initial Rs79 billion to a revised estimate of Rs184.63 billion.

Why it matters
The massive cost overruns and delays are attributed partly to inflation, the weaker rupee, and the construction timeline. The infrastructure project, which is part of the Sindh government's efforts in Karachi, involves significant public expenditure.
