India's Tallest Escalators Coming to Mumbai

The tallest escalators in India will be erected at Metro 3's international airport terminal (T2) station.

The eight escalators will be 19.15 meters long, breaking the current national record of 15.6 meters set by the ones at Delhi Metro's Janakpuri-West station. They will also reclaim Mumbai's title as the city with the country's tallest escalators, which it previously held thanks to T2's 11.6-metre-high pair.

The world's tallest escalators, measuring 69m each, may be found in three underground stations of Russia's Saint Petersburg Metro. The Central Mid-level escalator in Hong Kong is the world's tallest escalator system. It stands 135 meters tall and spans over 800 meters, with 20 escalators and three inclined travelators.

"In all, we are installing 14 escalators at the CSMIA T-2 station of the underground Colaba-Bandra-Seepz corridor," an MMRC spokesperson said. "A 250-ton crane is being used to lower the 8 escalators within confined spaces."
