MMRC completes 60% of Phase 1 track laying work on Mumbai Metro 3

According to the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC), which is constructing this line, track laying work on the underground Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ) is currently close to 60% complete.

Head Hardened (HH) rails, which can withstand approximately 50% more pressure than standard rails, were manufactured by a Japanese company and imported from Japan. For the first time in India, the Low Vibration Track (High Attenuation) technology is being used. These tracks will reduce the higher level of noise and vibration generated during train operations on this line, which is in the range of 22VdB (vibration measurement).

Recently MMRCL said that the first phase – Aarey to BKC – of the Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ Metro-3 Corridor would be operationalised soon in 2023

According to MMRC, over 90% of the stations in Phase 1 are ready, and 55% of the system work is completed. The Metro 3 underground line has 26 stations in total, with nine underground stations in Phase 1. These stations are built at depths ranging from 20 to 29 metres.

Inside a Pumped Storage Project: How It Actually Balances the Grid

What happens when the sun sets just as electricity demand starts to rise? Solar generation falls, but homes, factories and businesses still need power. Pumped storage power plants help bridge this gap by storing surplus electricity as gravitational potential energy in elevated water and releasing it when demand increases. As India adds more solar and wind capacity, this ability to shift electricity across hours is becoming increasingly important for grid flexibility.What is a Pumped Storage Power Plant?A pumped storage power plant (PSP) is a long-duration energy storage facility with two reser..
