The second train for the underground Aqua Line 3 of the Mumbai Metro is ready and set for dispatch from Sri City in Andhra Pradesh and will be arriving in the city in a few days. The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) intends to complete the work and begin operations between Aarey and Bandra Kurla Complex for the phase I corridor by June 2023. While the first rake, which arrived in Mumbai in July, is undergoing trials, the MMRCL intends to bring all the nine rakes required to commence service on phase I between Aarey and BKC by June.
“The initial design-proving trial runs of first prototype train of about 2,000 km have been conducted in the 3-km stretch tunnel from the temporary facility to Marol Naka Metro station from August 30. The MMRCL has already conducted a 1,000-km trial run,” a senior official said.
