MahaMetro Invites Bids for Platform Screen Doors at Nagpur Metro

On December 26 2017, the Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation invited bids for the installation of platform screen doors (PSDs) at all 40 stations of Nagpur Metro’s 41.2 km Phase 1 project. Since the project the entirely elevated, these PSDs will only help to prevent suicides & accidents due to passenger movement, and not play any role in lowering maintenance costs.
