Mumbai Monorail Revival in Progress
The contract award comes as Mumbai’s 19.54 km monorail line connecting Chembur in the east to Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk (Jacob Circle) approaches a long-awaited return to service after months of suspension.
Mumbai Monorail services had been suspended on September 20, 2025, following repeated technical failures, including three sudden mid-journey breakdowns. MMRDA halted operations to carry out a comprehensive system overhaul including new rolling stock, CBTC signalling, and fleet refurbishment.
In February 2026, MMRDA announced that an Independent Safety Assessor, Bureau Veritas, had issued mandatory safety certification for the monorail’s new rolling stock and the CBTC-based signalling system.
Under the revival plan, Medha Servo Drives, which supplied 10 newly built monorail rakes, has been instructed to synchronise testing schedules with the planned restart. Trials covering rolling stock, signalling, telecommunications, automatic fare collection gates, and passenger information systems are ongoing.
