The Navi Mumbai Metro Line-1, covering a distance of 5.14 kilometers from Pendhar station to Central Park station, has received the Interim Speed certificate from the Research Design and Structured Organization (RDSO).
CIDCO, the nodal agency for the construction of Metro in Navi Mumbai, is planning to open the part of Metro Line 1 that falls between these two stations for operations by December 2021.
Calling the certification an important milestone in opening the Navi Mumbai Metro to commuter traffic, Dr Sanjay Mukherjee, Vice-Chairman and Managing Director, City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), said, “As the trials conducted on the Metro Line -1 were successful, the RDSO granted the Interim Speed certificate. This allows the Navi Mumbai Metro to deploy the trains at maximum operational speed.
