The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is set to introduce a new monorail prototype to its fleet by the monsoon season. This new rake has already arrived in Mumbai and is currently undergoing trial runs.
Presently, the 17-kilometer monorail line, that runs from Chembur-Wadala to Sant Gadge Maharaj Chowk in Mumbai Central, operates with eight rakes, one of which is kept on standby. The service currently conducts 118 trips with intervals of 18 minutes between each trip. However, there have been numerous complaints from passengers regarding delays caused by frequent breakdowns.
