Winning the Mumbai consultant contract is significant as the Rail Network Authority secured the project by outperforming multinational engineering firms and local Indian companies. Previously, the Authority won the general consultant contract for Phase 1 of the Lucknow Metro in India in 2016.

The service will commence next month and will be jointly carried out with local companies over 30 months. The depot consists of 18 stabling tracks, 3 inspection bays, and 4 maintenance workshops, supporting the operation of the 15.18 km section of Mumbai Line 6.
