With three operational strains protecting over 50 km, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has began building on 9 different strains, with three within the tendering stage, and one other three within the strategy planning stage.
Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro Rail turned operational in June 2014, but it surely has taken eight years to make a minimum of two extra strains even partially operational. Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro is operated by a three way partnership of MMRDA and Reliance known as Mumbai Metro One Private Ltd (MMOPL) and France’s RATP Dev Transdev Asia.
The basis stone of the primary part of the Mumbai Metro Rail was laid by then prime minister Manmohan Singh in 2006, whereas the development started two years later in 2008. The first trial run was carried out in 2013 and it turned operational the yr after in 2014. Most Metro initiatives have been plagued by delay in environmental clearances, land acquisition issues and protests.
