On 31 July 2008, Mumbai Metro One (MMOPL) roped in ABB, Siemens and Sew Constructions to execute various works for the 11km Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar corridor of the Mumbai Metro Rail project.

MMOPL, the SPV formed by Reliance Energy, Veolia Transport, France and Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority to develop the metro along the VAG corridor, awarded the contract for power supply to ABB, signaling and train control systems to Siemens and the contract for three specialised bridges including a cable stayed bridge and two cantilever bridges to SEW Constructions.

ABB will be responsible for the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of traction electrification, power supply, power distribution and SCADA system for the metro corridor.

The signaling and train control systems used for the proposed corridor will be based on LZB 700M technology with high reliability and highest safety standards.
