Metro project. In this paper, the demand of the project and the benefits of the project will be
discussed. Apart from that the impact of the metro project in the environment and the society
will be evaluated through the discussion. At the end the scope for the improvement of the
project will be presented along with the lessons learnt from the project. The conclusion is
drawn from the facts presented in the discussion.
Discussion
Mumbai metro development project is the example of pubic private partnership in the
infrastructure project. The estimated time period for the project is 15 years. There are
different lines of Mumbai metro. Line 1 of Mumbai Metro system will be operated by Metro
One Operation Private Limited. This company is a joint venture between RATP Dev
Transdev Asia and Reliance Infrastructure. On the other hand line 2,4,6,7 are under the
control of MMRDA. Line 3 will be built by Mumbai Metro Corporation Limited. It has been
seen that there are involvement of the many stakeholders and the partners for the
development of the whole project.

The stakeholders in the project are the organization which are directly or indirectly
involved in the development of the project. There are seven stakeholders involved in the
development of the project. This also includes the government organization. Apart from that
the common people are also included in the stakeholder list As there are 7 organizations
bagged the Metro rail project, it has become easier for the Government of Maharashtra to
collect the required capital for the investment. Apart from that with the increasing number of
transports the common people can avail the flexibility of the system.
The demand from the project requires large amount of capital. The investment of the
7 companies in the organization have made it possible to manage the large capital investment.
Impact and society and environment
The development of the Mumbai Metro railway project has certain impacts on the
society and environment. The society will be benefitted as it will help to deliver the better
transportation service. On the other hand, the people can visit the distance places in a short
period of time. Apart from that one of the biggest problem people face during the mega block
of the railway. The railway service get delayed due to this track maintenance initiatives.
During the mega block, the use of metro rail can become a convenient option for the people.
On the other hand the development of the Mumbai metro can have the negative
impact on the environment. During the development process, the consumption of the energy
will be high. This will eventually increase the carbon footprint during the process. Apart from
that during the running of the metro rail large amount of energy will be used for that reason
that environment can get affected in a negative way.
If the triple bottom line approach is applied in the context of Mumbai metro rail
construction, it can be said among the three factors in the triple bottom line context social and
economic factors can get benefitted from the construction of metro railway. However,

environment can badly get affected during the plying of metro rail. There is a chance that the
environmental factor may be overlooked during the planning phase of the project.
During the execution of the project, maintaining the environment is needed to be
done. In this case, the designing of the engine and the infrastructure are needed to be
developed in a way that it consumes less energy during plying. Apart from that all the
requirements regarding acquiring of the land for the project and maintaining legal aspects of
the project are needed to be maintained in a proper way. These are regarded as scopes for
improvement of the project.
Leadership lessons learnt from the project
There are some leadership lessons those can be learnt from the development of the
metro railway for Mumbai. The main challenge for leader for this kind of project is
maintaining the complexity of the project in a proper way. The execution phase of this project
is going to be complex as there are construction of different lines present in this project. The
main challenge for the project leader is make the team members to manage to do the work in
different modules. The compilation of the modules are needed to be done within the deadline.
Apart from that managing the capital is another challenge for the project leader as there are
seven investors involved in the project.
The leadership lesson that is learnt from this project is that the leader leading the
complex project needs good analytical skills so that he or she could coordinate among the
different functionalities in the project.
Conclusion
The discussion is regarding managing the projects of Mumbai Metro Railway. It has
been seen that the involvement of the stakeholder is a higher degree level for this project.
Apart from that the proper compilation of this kind of complex project needs excellent

supervision. It can be said from the discussion that the presence of more than one project
management leader is needed for the compilation of this kind of project. Apart from that
proper management of the funding and the analysis of the risk management are needed to be
concerned about at the beginning of the project. There are certain adverse environmental
impact for this project which is needed to be mitigated a certain level.
