MUMBAI (Metro Rail News): The Mumbai Metro project progressed as the first trial train coaches for Line 4 have been successfully lifted and positioned on the tracks near Anand Nagar in Thane. As per the officials, the trials for Line 4 are expected to begin in September.
Line 4 of Mumbai Metro is an under-construction line that spans 32.32 km between Wadala and Kasarvadavali, featuring 30 stations. Line 4A of the Mumbai Metro is the extension of Line 4, which spans 2.7 km from Kasarvadavali to Gaimukh through 2 stations.
Alstom Transport is supplying the rolling stock for the Mumbai Metro Line 4 under Package CA-234 of the Mumbai Metro. The train coach, which will be used for the trials, is not the final train; it only matches the final specifications for the trains that will be used on this line.
Initially, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) awarded Larsen & Toubro ( L&T) the contract. Under this contract, L&T was responsible for supplying 5 major systems for Mumbai Metro Line 4, but L&T has partnered with Alstom Transport for the rolling stock and signalling solution.
MMRDA’s Brief Scope: Design, Manufacture, Supply, Installation, Integration, Testing and Commissioning of Rolling Stock, Communication Based Signaling & Train Control, Telecommunication, Platform Screen Doors Systems, and Depot Machinery & Plant including 15 Years of Comprehensive Maintenance After 2 Years of Defect Liability Maintenance Period of Line 4 and Extension Corridor (4A) [Wadala – Kasarvadavali – Gaimukh] of Mumbai Metro Rail Project of MMRDA.
