# Mumbai Metro – India

![Mumbai Metro – India](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/metro_mumbai.jpg)

**SYSTRA has supported India’s economic capital since 2007 in the design and construction of its metro network. The Group has provided a wide range of expertise at all project stages.**

With a population of over 18 million, Mumbai is one of the most densely
populated urban areas in the world. It is home to activities that are vital to
India, accounting for more than 25% of industrial production, 40% of maritime
transactions and 70% of the financial activity of the entire country.

Since 2007, SYSTRA has been working with the city to provide a
[ metro network ](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/metro/)that meets the needs
of its population. Line 1 is a perfect illustration of the expertise of our
Group, which was responsible for its design until it was commissioned in 2014,
and which has deployed the patented U-shaped viaduct solution for rapid
construction with frugal use of concrete at the best possible cost. 

SYSTRA is currently involved in the construction of five other metro lines in
Mumbai:

- Lines 2B, 3 and 4, which are due to come into service in 2021 and 2022. We
  have been involved from the preliminary design through to the detailed design,
  and then in supervising the civil engineering for the contractors.
- Lines 5 and 9, for which civil engineering supervision was assigned to us in
  2019 as General Consultant.

In all, SYSTRA is involved in the design of 111 stations and 126.8km of metro in
Mumbai, representing almost 40% of the total 337km that the city plans to have
by 2026. This network is set to become one of the busiest in the world.

### FOCUS: Brand identity of the Mumbai metro designed by systra

In 2019 and 2020, SYSTRA signed a single visual identity charter for all the
metro’s stations. This unified and standardised signage will benefit both
passengers and operators, enabling Mumbai to count on one of the most efficient
metros in the world.

Mumbai’s metro stations now have a single visual identity. The design assignment
had one main objective: to make passenger journeys more fluid by standardising
the organisation of signage and equipment.

For this project SYSTRA was lead consultant and worked with consultancy partners
Design Orb and Sarg Design Studio. The assignment completed by our teams in
France and India was called ‘branding designs of station’ and includes the
visual chart of the metro (official logo and brand), the graphic design of the
signalling, the design of equipment in the stations (including typographies and
pictograms), and the official colours of each metro line including their
extensions.
