Mumbai Metro at a Glance 

As the country looks to create world-class infrastructure, Mass Rapid Transit System is being developed across Indian metros to provide a fast, easy and comfortable commute through high-speed trains. Reliance Infrastructure has partnered with MMRDA in Mumbai to successfully implement a world-class mass rapid transport system for the city of Mumbai.
Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Corridor Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) project was awarded by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) through a global competitive bidding process on Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) framework to RInfra led consortium in 2007. This was the first metro project awarded in the country on a PPP basis and entails design, financing, construction, operation and maintenance of about 12 km elevated metro with 12 stations enroute.
A special purpose vehicle, namely, Mumbai Metro One Private Limited (MMOPL) has been incorporated for the implementation of the project. RInfra holds 69% of the equity share capital of MMOPL, while MMRDA holds 26% and remaining 5% is held by Veolia Transport RATP Asia. France through a separate joint venture company shall undertake operations & maintenance of the project for an initial period of 5 years.
The metro will provide the much needed east to west connectivity and will carry about 6 lakh commuters per day initially at very affordable fares. The biggest advantage would be the substantial reduction in travel time from the current 90 minutes to about 20 minutes along with much improved and comfortable traveling experience.
