In a move aimed at expediting the construction of Metro corridors and mitigating potential delays, Dr Sanjay Mukherjee, metropolitan commissioner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), has introduced a novel strategy by creating a dedicated team of experts for each Metro line. It is anticipated that this innovative approach will revolutionise the construction process, ensuring seamless coordination and timely execution.

With the current under-construction Metro corridors in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR) witnessing rapid progress, this new strategy comes as a decisive step towards achieving punctuality and precision. Dr Mukherjee shared insights into the transformational move, stating, “Previously, various aspects such as electrical and civil work lacked clear ownership, leading to potential bottlenecks. With this new approach, we’ve appointed a team leader for each Metro line, alongside directors to oversee the comprehensive progress. This change will usher in a significant paradigm shift.”
