Mumbai Monorail

India's first monorail is set to roll out in Mumbai. It was to be operational for public use by Aug 2013 but slow construction and route re-alignment has further delayed the project untill Feb 2014. An accident in July 2011 killing 2 workers and injuring 6 has also added to the delays. Finally India's First Monorail and World 2nd longest monorail will thrown out to the public on 1st Feb 2014. It is expected to be inaugurated by Hon. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.

The revised opening date is now (hopefully) December 2013 & early 2014.

On Feb 18 2012, a trial run was conducted on a 4 km stretch of the first line.

ROLLING STOCKS: The monorail cars are to be built in Malaysia by Scomi Engineering Bhd. Scomi Rail owns 42% of the contract to build the 19.5 km monorail line
