Stakeholders Analysis
• MMRDA(Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority) – Responsible for
overseeing the project

 System administrator for the project

 Responsible for selecting the consultants and builders
 Poor planning led to multiple delays, reasons being finances and space constraints
 No tender floated for consultant selection process

• Louis Berger Group – Project Management Consultant and advisor for the project

 Reviewed technical aspects, monitor progress, evaluate safety and operation plans, and
advice on any commercial or contractual issue that may arise
 Did cost estimates without even visiting the proposed site
Stakeholders Analysis
• Consortium of Scomi and L&T – Responsible for Operations and Maintenance of monorail
corridor
 The monorail caught fire burning 2 out of 4 coaches. The panel blame put primary
responsibility on Scomi Engineering to compensate for the losses and replace the burnt
trains
 Dispute between MMRDA and Scomi over cost escalations , Scomi decided to pull out after
3 months
 Per trip cost fixed was low at Rs 3131/trip. The delay of 10 years combined with inflation
made it loss making avenue

• Compliance Authorities – Commissioner of Rail Safety(CRS), Forest Departmental Clearance,

Environmental Clearance, EIG clearance for power traction and building installation etc.

• Common People – Daily commuters who can use the monorail route and save time and money

 Risks vs. Possible Solutions
Event Type of Risk Delay Reason for delay Possible Solution
Change in Location of Strategic Risk 12 Months • Traffic Conjunction • Proper Traffic diversion Plan
GMC • Utilities Diversion • Simultaneous start of utilities

Land Acquisition Strategic Risk 12 Months • Delay from developer • Proper Plan for Land
Problems in execution of Slum Acquisition; to provide
(GTB Nagar, Dadar and rehabilitation scheme occupants with transit
Naigaon.) accommodation
Non-Diversion of oil fill External Risk • Unforeseen activities • To place additional time
high tension cushion while designing of
underground Tata alignment to overcome
Power Cable unforeseen activities
Permission for crossing Legal Risk 36 months • Poor coordination • Removal of communication
of Railway alignment at between contractor gap between Client-PMC-
Curry Road Station and Indian railway Contractor-Railway authority
authority • Prior approval at the planning
• Unware about safety stage from railway authority
zones of railway
 Risks vs. Possible Solutions
Event Type of Risk Delay Reason for delay Possible Solution
Delay due to land Strategic Risk 36 Months • Poor Coordination and • Proper alignment designing
acquisition from planning • Prior planning of
Mumbai Port Trust and • Delay due to land handover rehabilitation plan
Indian Railway crossing to MMRDA by MBPT
• Rehabilitation of existing
tenant at old building very

Delay in manufacturing Operational Risk 60 Months • Design issues as per Indian • Heavy Penalty Condition in

Post Launch
 Services launched for commercial operations on Feb 2, 2014

 Poor planning– cost for MMRDA is 7lakh per day while revenue is 2lakh
per day in 2014 leading to cost-overruns as O&M costs of 3131 per trip
which was decided 10 year before actual operations

 Low number of commuters 18k-19k per day compared to 1lakh required

to achieve breakeven

 Technical snags leading to trip cancellations as high as 1313 trips in one

month as monorail

 Reasons of failure
• Poor selection of route. Road route is 5km vs 8.8km rail route
• Absence of commercial hubs in the path
• Lack of feeder services to and from stations
• Poor interchanges with suburban train networks
Current Situation- Mumbai Monorail Is Scrambling
To Get On Track By 2019
 On November 9, 2017 Monorail services came to a halt after a train caught fire

 Currently 7 out of 10 trains are operational. MMRDA is struggling to purchase five additional trains
required for re-launch

 MMRDA struggling to find a new contractor for O&M for next 10 years

• It received only 2 tenders

• MMRD estimated Rs1,000 Crore for 10 years
• It received Rs2,000 Crore from IL&FS while Reliance Infra quoted 6408 Crores.
• LTSE quoted Rs18,000 per trip which is higher than 2000 Crore for 10 years

Recent Developments

 LTSE has agreed to refurbish the three unfit trains by December 2018
 Deliver 5 new trains between March to June 2019
