Mumbai Metro: MMRDA completes overhead electrification work

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has completed overhead line electrification work on the 20 km trial run section linking Charkop depot and Aarey station on metro line 2A (Dahisar to DN Nagar), and Line 7 (Dahisar East to Andheri East).

With this, the trial run on the stated stretch will commence on May 31. Made in India metro rakes built by Bharat Earth Movers Ltd (BEML), will be utilised to carry out the trial runs.

The Catenary Maintenance Vehicle (CMV), delivered for the electrification of the overhead line by the Bharat Earth Movers Ltd (BEML), was beneficial. This vehicle is designed for periodic inspection, patrolling and maintenance of overhead equipment.

When both lines would be entirely operational, this CMV would be used to serve to sites where equipment has broken down (if any) and will help with erecting and restoring damaged catenary and contact wires. The CMV comes along with a crane with an interchange basket and a lifting platform.

The Mumbai Metro Line 2A and 7 will work on a 25kV 50Hz AC Supply. It is a significant milestone for the initiation of the aimed metro trial run.

Reportedly, the Chief Electrical Inspector to the Government of India (CEIG) has allowed OHE electrification on the trial stretch, which was a milestone notably at the time of the pandemic.
