Mumbai to join Kolkata, Delhi as Metro service resumes on October 19

The 11.4 km line, shut as a containment measure against Covid-19, is operated through a public private partnership between Reliance Infrastructure and MMRDA

Mumbai’s sole operational metro line Mumbai Metro One, which had gone still on March 21 will resume operations from next week, under a latest state government directive. The 11.4 km line, the only operational one in Mumbai, was shut as a containment measure against Covid-19. 

With this, Mumbai will join other cities like Kolkata, Hyderabad and Delhi, where metro operations have already resumed.

In a new directive on Wednesday, the Maharashtra government said metro rail in the state will be allowed to operate effective October 15. However, executives from Mumbai Metro One confirmed operations will resume from October 19.
