The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) on Monday expressed unhappiness over the “tardiness” of Larsen & Toubro handling civil works in the monorail project.
MMRDA metropolitan commissioner Ratnakar Gaikwad, who previewed and inaugurated India’s first four-car monorail at Rawang, Kuala Lumpur, on Monday, said he was happy with the speed and quality of work done by Scomi Engineering, which constructed the rake.
“Scomi has done an excellent job. I hope L&T finishes the civil works as early as possible,” Gaikwad said, adding that the MMRDA has set extremely high standards for the civil work alignment.
The blue car rake has a capacity to carry about 600 passengers and is expected to be dispatched to India later this month. The first phase of the monorail, which runs on a single beam, is expected to start by the year end. It will run between Wadala and Chembur.
TC Benjamin, principle secretary, urban development department, said he was happy with the changes made by the Scomi engineers in the monorail. “We had asked them not to keep cushion seats since they can be easily tampered with. Now, the
train has steel seats that are comfortable,” Benjamin said.
Tan Sri Asmat, chairman of Scomi Group; UPS Madan of the Mumbai Transformation Support Unit; and SVR Srinivas, additional metropolitan commissioner, also inspected the monorail coach.
