Physics:Mumbai Maglev
The Mumbai Maglev is 2007 proposal for a Maglev line serving Mumbai . A total of six routes are proposed in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region, with distances ranging from 20 to 50 km.[1]
In February 2020 the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) wrote to the Maharashtra state government and the Indian Railway Board seeking an in-principal approval for the project as a public private partnership. The plan is for a 55 km (34 mi) elevated line connecting Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CSTM) and Panvel with a branch line to Navi Mumbai International Airport. The request was made after Swiss company SwissRapide AG, in a joint venture with Lasane Infra Private Limited (India), sent an expression of interest to develop and run the corridor at an estimated cost of Rs 13,347 crore.[2]
As of July 2021 there is no indication the proposal has proceeded further.
