Minister of State for Defence Sanjay Seth on Monday flagged off a train manufactured by BEML for the Mumbai Metro network in Bengaluru, the 55th train for Lines 2 and 7 of the Mumbai Metro.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority's Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) is initiating efforts to rent out vacant spaces at metro stations. The initiative aims to generate substantial revenue from stations located on the Metro 2A (D.N. Nagar to Dahisar East) and Metro 7 (Andheri East to Dahisar East) routes.

MMMOCL has identified about 72,000 sq ft of available space at around 30 stations on these metro lines. By leasing out these spaces, which include areas such as D.N. Nagar (17,079 sq ft), Lower Oshivar (2,783 sq ft), Valanai (2,853 sq ft) and Anandanagar (3,053 sq ft), the corporation aims to generate a monthly rental income of around Rs 1.15 crore.

Mumbai's first Metro line, stretching from Versova to Ghatkopar, completed a 10 Years of service on Saturday (June 8), clocking 11 lakh trips with an impressive record of 99 per cent punctuality. Launched on June 8, 2014, the Reliance Infrastructure-led Mumbai Metro One marked the entry of metro services in the city, significantly enhancing its transport landscape, which was earlier dependent on local trains.

Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) began the integrated trial of underground Metro Line-3 (Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ) Phase 1 on March 12. This service will be made available to passengers after MMRCL gets approval from the Commissioner. After the trials are run, officials need to obtain certification from the individual system and Independent Safety Assessor (ISA). Then, the system will be presented to the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety (CMRS) for inspection and approval.
