Vande Bharat Metro to Replace Mumbai Local Trains: A Major Upgrade to the Suburban Railway Network
The Mumbai local trains, which are considered the lifeline of Mumbai city, will soon become history. The Railway Board has approved the purchase of 238 Vande Bharat Metro trains, a mini version of India’s first indigenous semi-high-speed train, Vande Bharat Express. The purchase is a major step towards upgrading the suburban railway network and will greatly benefit jobseekers and students.
Procurement and Maintenance
The purchase of Vande Bharat Metro trains will be made under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project-III (MUTP-III) and 3A (MUTP-3A) and will come with maintenance requirements to last for 35 years. The work of making these trains will be done under the guidelines of Make India, a project being run by the Ministry of Railways and the Government of Maharashtra to increase the capacity of the train network.
Reducing the Pressure of Crowd on Local Trains
The Vande Bharat Metro trains will have state-of-the-art rakes and will connect cities with a distance of less than 100 kms. The train will be ready by December and will run 4-5 times a day on the same route. With 8 coaches like a metro train, it will provide rapid shuttle-like experience to the passengers. This will help in reducing the pressure of crowd on local trains and provide world-class transport facilities to the working people and students.
Announced in the Budget 2023-24
The Vande Bharat Metro was announced in the Union Budget 2023-24. This project is a significant step towards upgrading the suburban railway network and will benefit jobseekers and students. The MUTP-III and MUTP-3A projects, worth Rs 10,947 crore and Rs 33,690 crore respectively, will further enhance the capacity of the train network.
