This will be some fun, are they gonna fill it up like the "Dheemi Locals" Its gonna be hard for anything to work in Mumbai. Plus unlike Delhi, another issue that will crop up is the highly corrosive environment of Mumbai that will affect the lifespan of a single train.

Btw is the line construction underway in Mumbai? They are building a skyrail right?


And what epic fail. We should have built facility to build these trains in India Look at the amount of jobs it would have opened up. Plus this will be a continuous business once it starts.
