In a big development for Mumbai’s transportation system, the Ministry of Railways has issued a concise, five-point directive to the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) on Friday, instructing them to upgrade Mumbai’s local trains to the sophisticated Vande Metro (suburban) trains
The directive also states that the government-run railway factories will not manufacture the trains. Instead, technology partners will be contracted to undertake their production while adhering to the Make in India guidelines. Furthermore, the technology partner will establish the two car depots approved under MUTP III & 3A projects, located at Vangaon on Western Railway and Bhivpuri on Central Railway
