Mumbai: The Mumbai Monorail, which suspended operations nearly a year ago, has yet to resume services despite its revamped system being certified safe for passengers three months ago.

Mumbai Monorail, suspended since September 2025, may resume operations by the end of September or early November, pending the installation of safety nets.

MMMOCL, the managing body, is awaiting a recommendation from IIT Bombay before proceeding with the installation, which could add three to four months to the reopening timeline.
