Mumbai, Apr 15 (UNI) The Mumbai Metro is going to witness a development as the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has been planning to conduct the trial runs of Line 2B (Yellow Line) from April 16, which spans 23.643 km from D N Nagar to Mandale through 20 stations.
An MMRDA official mentioned, “Last week, we successfully electrified the overhead equipment. As a step towards making the Metro corridor open for the public, trial runs would commence from Wednesday. The line will be partially open for public use by December this year.”
Sources said the stretch with five stations—Mandale, Mankhurd, BSNL, Shivaji Chowk and Diamond Garden—has now been live charged, powering its overhead electric systems.
Trial runs will begin with simple system integration, followed by loaded trials under simulated real-life passenger conditions.
