Mumbai Monorail Service Delayed Pending Safety Net Installation and Evacuation Plan
Mumbai's monorail, suspended for nearly a year, faces further delays despite safety clearance. The Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) is considering installing protective safety nets beneath the elevated tracks to prevent falling debris, which could endanger people and vehicles below. This installation may take three to four months, potentially postponing service resumption until December or later. Authorities are also reviewing emergency evacuation plans following a 2025 incident where passengers were trapped between stations, seeking expert recommendations to improve safety measures.
