India, May 3 -- The wait for the resumption of Mumbai Monorail services will be longer as the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) will miss its May 7 deadline, as it has yet to start the second layer of safety inspection and certification. Sources within MMMOCL shared on Saturday that the transportation system should be ready by May-end.

The sources said that with some final set of preparations still pending, it will not be possible to re-open services between Jacob Circle and Chembur via Wadala on May 7. "At least a few more weeks will be required," they added. The Monorail, which was inaugurated in February 2014, was suspended on September 20, 2025, after glitches in the system raised questions about safety.
