(Maha Metro) has obtained the ISO 9001, ISO 14001, and ISO 45001 certifications in its first year of operation. As per a CIDCO press statement, these certificates demonstrate the metro’s dedication to upholding international standards for environmental responsibility, occupational health and safety, and quality management.
