Abstract
On 26 February 2019, the Asian Development Bank (ADB) approved a $926 million loan for the Mumbai Metro Rail Systems Project.1 The project will support workincluding the (i) design, manufacture, testing, and maintenance of 378 energy-efficient rolling stock carriages; (ii) procurement, installation, and testing of an advanced signaling, train control, and platform access system for 58 kilometers (km) of metro lines; and (iii) establishment of a Mumbai Metro operations organization. It will contribute to the development of a modern and safe rail-based urban transit system, which is expected to reduce pollution and traffic congestion, increase public transport ridership, and improve the overall quality of the city’s transport system.
