Signaling Fault Disrupts Mumbai Metro Lines 2A and 7 as Operators Restore Service

Commuters reported long halts with sparse updates from officials during the evening outage.

Overview

  • Services on the Yellow Line 2A and Red Line 7 slowed or stopped on Sunday evening, stranding passengers at stations including Andheri West.
  • MMMOCL attributed the disruption to a temporary technical or signaling issue and posted service updates on X.
  • Officials later said the fault was resolved with operations returning to the normal weekend schedule, though trains initially ran at reduced speeds.
  • Riders cited extended stoppages such as about 10 minutes at Oshiwara and more than 30 minutes at Mogra, with additional delays reported at Kandivali West.
  • Authorities drew criticism after early messaging described a “minor problem” before revising it, as social media filled with complaints seeking clearer information.
