Thane Metro 4 Rolling Stock Receives Safety Certification Ahead of Launch
Thane's Metro 4 and 4A have received safety certification for the rolling stock planned for the initial 10.5-km Gaimukh-Cadbury Junction section with eight stations. Six train rakes are planned for the first phase, with a temporary pit line at Gaimukh for maintenance as the main depot is under construction. The Research Designs and Standards Organisation certified the trains in June, and the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety has inspected the facility, with final clearance pending. Trial operations have been conducted on a 4.4-km stretch.
