MUMBAI (Metro Rail News): The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) is nearly ready to begin the Phase 1 trials for the Underground Mumbai Metro Line 3 with a very short tracklaying work pending on the line.
Earlier, a 17 km trial run from MIDC to Vidyanagari metro station and back to SEEPZ was held. Tracklaying work on a very short distance of the Aqua Line is not complete.
