Here are the Metro trains for Mumbai’s LBS Road

Here are the Metro trains that will run on Mumbai’s arterial Lal Bahadur Shastri (LBS) Road. To be run on Green Line 4, the line starts from Thane (Gaimukh as Line 4A) and will pass through Mumbai’s eastern suburbs of Mulund, Bhandup, Kanjurmarg, Vikhroli, Ghatkopar, Kurla, Chunabhatti and all the way to Wadala.

Under the Make in India initiative, the trains have been designed at Alstom’s engineering centre in Bengaluru, manufactured at its Sri City facility in Andhra Pradesh, with propulsion systems produced in Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu, and bogies at Savli, Gujarat.

The brand new six-car driverless trains for the city’s longest 32km long Mumbai Metro corridor Green Line 4 and 4A that connects Wadala in central Mumbai to Thane are now ready with the first trainset unveiled on Thursday and the train reaching Mumbai in December 2026 itself.

While Metro Line 4 from Wadala to Kasarvadavali is 32.32 km. long elevated corridor with 30 stations, Line 4A from Kasarvadavali to Gaimukh is 2.7 km long elevated corridor with 2 stations.

However, with absence of its own dedicated carshed of the Green Line at Mogharpada, a few trains will be placed at Mandale depot near Mankhurd and a few others at Kasheli which is linked to the line.

Alstom expects to ship the first train by the end of November. It takes about a week to 10 days to reach Mumbai, so the train should arrive in the first or second week of December.

Engineered and built at a record time of 14 months, 39 such six-car trainsets will be manufactured for the line.

Officials said in the absence of a dedicated depot for Mumbai Metro Line 4 (Wadala–Kasarvadavali), the first 20 trains will be parked at Mandale depot, which can accommodate more than 72 rakes, while the remaining 19 trains will be stationed at the Kasheli depot on Metro Line 5.

The Kasheli depot has a direct connection to Line 4, enabling trains to be transferred to the corridor for operations. The arrangement will accommodate all 39 trainsets planned for the 35.3-km Green Line, which will connect Wadala in Mumbai with Kasarvadavali in Thane through 32 stations.

The fleet comprises 234 metro cars, configured as 39 six-car trainsets, being supplied by Alstom under the integrated systems contract awarded to Larsen & Toubro by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).

Presenting the first trainset at Sri City, Olivier Loison, Managing Director, Alstom India, said, “Our long-standing partnership with Mumbai’s metro network continues to grow and we are proud to consistently deliver next generation rail solutions for the urban metro network in the city. The Mumbai Line 4 & 4A project also establishes our collaboration with L&T to support MMRDA in its metro network expansion, today is a proud moment for us at Alstom to be showcasing the first trainset at a record time. As a preferred partner in Mumbai’s sustainable urban mobility journey, we are confident that our advanced rail products and technologies will deliver a world-class travel experience to every Mumbaikar.”

Designed for a safe speed of 90 km/h and an operational speed of 80 km/h, the trains will offer enhanced passenger comfort and accessibility through airflow-based cooling, wheelchair access and, India’s first time on an Alstom train, dedicated bicycle racks to support sustainable mobility and last-mile connectivity. The train has also been developed using Alstom’s Eco-design approach, with materials selected with fire-safety requirements and environmental considerations in mind.
