Though the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) was in talks with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) to operate monorail services, sources from the authority have told mid-day that there has been no definite response from them (MRVC) on it. Now, the only option left with MMRDA is to negotiate with IL & FS, which has won the contract to operate the monorail. MMRDA is also in talks with current operator Scomi Engineering, to see if they can restart the Phase I corridor by October or November, and has asked them to submit a plan for the same by July 31.

No response from MRVC
A senior MMRDA official said, "We had approached MRVC to see if they would be interested in operating and maintaining the monorail Phase-I and Phase-II corridors, but we have not received any response from their side." He added that negotiations with IL&FS are in progress.
