The Railway Ministry on Wednesday scrapped the long-delayed tender for 238 Mumbai AC local train rakes floated by the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC), opting instead for simultaneous production at three railway manufacturing units to speed up deliveries to Mumbai.

The move is aimed at ensuring that the first batch of new AC local trains enter service by 2027, with the entire fleet targeted for delivery by 2030.
