    ABSTRACT

    This project is aimed to study the project management perspective of Mumbai Monorail. In

    this we have analysed the project lifecycle, Stakeholders, Identified the risk, there causes and

    impact and what could be the mitigation. We also analysed the current scenario from success

    and failure perspective.

    INTRODUCTION

    Background:

    Considering the increase in population, increased travel demand and narrow road networks

    running through congested structures, there was a need for a system, which can be a

    substitute for the existing bus system and reduce the traffic and time.

    The objective was to support the existing suburban and Urban rail system and metro rail

    system and was planned to construct where public rapid transit system is not available or

    where widening of roads is not possible due to structures on either sides. Mono Rail system is

    to be implemented by MMRDA/GOM.

    The Mumbai Monorail project is a pioneer project and one of its kinds for the first time in

    India. There are many innovative advances in engineering, construction and management, not

    only by Indian Standards but at an International level as well. Mumbai Monorail is also the

    second longest system in the world, the first being in Osaka in Japan. Although the Mumbaimonorail is the first monorail project in India, there were many other monorail projects,

    which were undertaken. This makes the construction of the monorail project in Mumbai

    much simpler because there already examples which were successful. Mumbai being a city,

    which is densely populated, the monorail project has been a boon to the commuters. Indias

    largest engineering and construction conglomerate, L&T with Malaysian based Scomi

    Engineering, construct the Mumbai Monorail Project. L&T has used the AutoCAD civil 3D

    software for optimized productivity, time and resources.

    Unlike conventional rail systems, the monorail operates on a single beam on an elevated

    corridor. It is considered to be the worlds urban transport systems. There are a lot of changes

    to be faced in the case of the Mumbai Monorail. This seemed to be an important project bothfrom L&Ts and the Maharashtras governments point of view. This is the countrys first

    monorail and has secured Rs.2460 crore rupees. This is not like the conventional rail system

    where the train runs on two rails, but travels on an elevated corridor. L&T was to design,

    construct, and install, test and commission the monorail project. But apart from the

    engineering aspects, there are many other aspects, which are to be considered for this project.

    Mumbai is a city with a high population density and the planning is to be done in such a way

    that the present living condition of the citizens should not be altered. There would be

    challenges from the local people and other stakeholders. The land acquisition in Mumbai is a

    very big problem. Apart from this, the natural resources should be spoiled or the other

    amenities electricity should not be affected. This would make the life of MMRDA very

    difficult and there are lots of constraints for the project to be completed within time.

    As time to complete would increase drastically, the cost would also increase manifold and

    hence the real question is whether this is a feasible project to be taken up. If it is a feasible

    option then the real question is to how to manage the risk involved with all these and come up

    with a successful project. This is a test for the company L&T as well because this is the first

    monorail in India. But there is still an advantage to L&T because there have many monorails

    being constructed across the world and hence the design and planning would be an easier

    task. But the real project is to anticipate the risk and take necessary measures. It has to give a

    detailed plan and what is going to be done and how to eliminate risks if they happen. It has to

    work in tandem with the MMRDA and hence come up with a world-class monorail.

    So the real problem would be; the people of Mumbai. There would be lots of protests when

    the Government is acquiring land, the local unions would protest and there would be other

    aspects, which have to be anticipated. So the quality of the project greatly depends on the

    factors of proper management, risk assessment and handing those risks effectively and

    efficiently. So there should be a well-planned schedule and hence better of utilization of time

    when there are protests and hence make sure the bottlenecks are resolved faster and it would

    be help in the smooth implementation of the project and hence become a successful one.

    In Monorail System monorail runs on a narrow Guide way Beam, there wheels are

    gripped laterally on either side of the beam. It is a Light Weight System and its cost of execution is less compared to heavy rail

    systems and it takes approximately 1.5 to 2 years for execution.

    Every train with four coaches has the capacity to carry about 560 people. Whereas in

    the suburban train network where each train has a capacity to carry 1,500 people but

    eventually it carries 8,500 People.

    As compared to other systems Monorail produces less noise and is eco-friendly and

    hence easily acceptable in dense residential locale.

    Monorail System is in use in Tokyo (Japan) from 1963 and in china for last 3 years.

    Monorail System is Safe and reliable system.

    PROJECT SCOPE DEFINITION:

    The Mumbai monorail was undertaken and the scope is to design and construct Monorail

    system from Gadge Maharaj Chowk to Wadala(Approx.10.64km) and Wadala to Chembur

    via Mahul. There are different phases involved in this case:

    Phase1: 8.9km of viaduct + 6side platform stations+ Central platform station

    Phase 2: 10.64km of viaduct + 8side platform stations + 2 platform stations

    Apart from these two important phases, MMRDA has to be handling the construction of

    depot building and depot guide way. This extensively planned monorail project is going to

    the serve the areas which were not served by the local trains and hence this is planned so that

    the traffic would be reduced by a great deal.

    PROJECT PLANNING:

    Project planning is the most important phase of any project. This becomes more essential in

    this case because; a small problem in the project will eventually cause a great loss.

    Preconstruction activities involve a phase where the budget and the time frame would all be

    analysed. In this phase, the construction areas have to be decided and hence see if these areas

    have any important amenities and hence plan if something important has to be done.

    Excavation would be the most difficult part. There would be a lot of opposition and hence

    this is the time there might be some delay in the project as well. This has to be handled well

    and hence use this time effectively. After this, construction would be followed. This is a

    phase where the project could be speeded up.

    MUMBAI MONORAIL PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION:

    The total length of Mumbai Monorail is 20.13 kms which was implemented in 2 phases:

    1.

    Phase 1: Wadala-Chembur (8.93 kms) : completed in Feb.14

    2. Phase2: SGMC-Wadala (11.2 kms) :Estimated completion- March15

    The foundation stone of the Monorail was laid on 09thFebruary 2009. The original deadline

    for the both phases of the product was April2011. The project was delayed several times due

    to various issues related to land, removal of encroachments, and delays in getting permissions

    and missed several deadlines.

    Phase 2: Extended deadlines- May11,Dec11, May12,Dec12, Dec13,June14,

    March15

    There was 3 years delay in the project and the main reason for it was change in the route

    alignment and the project cost kept on increasing. The first test run was conducted for 108

    meters on 26 January2010. After that a 1 km test run was successfully completed on 18th

    February 2012. The end to end test run was conducted by MMRDA in Nov.12.

    After the completion of the civil work related to alignment, the focus shifted to completing

    the stations and work on signalling and telecommunications.

    Wrong Design- There were some incorrect design submission for phase 2 as some already

    existing railway line was not taken into consideration

    Extension- Phase 2 has already an expansion plan upto Jacob circle

    The main reason for delay was change in the route due to encroachment removal, delayedpermissions from Civic and Railway authorities

    Reliance had raised possible quality issues during bidding phase, due to stiff 24 months

    deadline, which proved true as the monorail is facing quality issues

    Hitachi had said that the worldwide monorail projects take atleast 36 months

    The stakeholders here can be further categorized into two categories:

    A) Internal Stakeholders:

    It basically includes the stakeholders who all are first concern of the organization and

    are directly linked or are benefited or harmed. They are into decision making bodies

    of the organization or might directly affect the decisions.

    Here the internal stakeholders are:

    They are external to the organization and affect or get affected from outside. They are

    not the first concern of the organization but they are equally important for any

    decision-making. Its just that they are hierarchical latter to internal. Moreover theyare not directly involved in the decision-making body and are external or outside

    consideration. In many cases they might of extreme importance however in some

    cases they might not hold that strategic position.

    Here the external stakeholders are:

    a)

    Suppliers/vendors

    b) Local residents

    c) Mumbais traffic

    d) Environment & Land

    e)

    Larsen & Toubro

    Apart from all these there could be various other stakeholders but the above mentioned are

    major affected here and others are somewhat related to them only or belong to their

    categories. Thus we will limit our stakeholder analysis to the above-mentioned entities only.

    Now the discussion will be on the impacts of the various stakeholders and how does it affectthe whole project and how importance does each of them hold.

    Analysis of Stakeholders

    Impacts and Effects of Stakeholders

    1.) Management/ Employees:

    A well-coordinated and tightly managed employees and the lower management will

    always have a better productivity and efficiency. Moreover if the management is clear

    about the scope and objective of the project then the success of the project has higher

    probability. The three aspects on which we generally measure the success is trio of

    cost, time and scope of the project. Thus a tight and crisp management will have

    control over time and cost, if there are no extreme situations like natural calamities or

    Group 7 Project Management - Mumbai Monorail Page 12

    economic depression altogether. These type of projects also present lots of challenges

    for the employees and management to deal with. This in long run make them better

    versed with different difficult scenarios. Thus in this way it will further enhance thecapabilities and effectiveness of these employees. At personal level the employee

    have lot to learn and implement in future. The organization get more experience

    employees and management better prepared to handle these type of situation before

    hand. Moreover it will also create more job opportunities and so helping reducing

    grave economic problems like unemployment and economic disparities on income.

    2.)

    Government of Maharashtra

    The projects like these will act as a huge source for revenue generation over a

    considerably longer period of time. Moreover it will present better infrastructure

    facilities for public, investors and prospect investors. It will signal as a state with

    more emphasis on development and more inclined towards citizen services. The

    revenue generated will be also impact the tax payers in a positive manner and more

    job opportunities with more impact on overall economic situation will ultimately add

    impetus to the overall GDP of the country.

    3.) Local residents

    It will improve the services offered to the local residents in many ways. It will

    primarily solve their transportation problems with regards to the places which werent

    earlier covered by local trains and buses as will cover alternate routes and which are

    more congested and are narrower. The city of Mumbai is overflowing with such

    routes and the only solution for them is currently auto rickshaws which are not

    sufficient to cater to the over growing demands. Moreover it will be much safer for

    them as compared other modes of transportation and would take less travel time

    owing to its exclusivity of the route. Thus it will definitely reduce the local

    transportation woes of the local residents and will address to their travel time

    constraints. The confidence on public transportation will increase and further

    expectations on more facilities regarding other areas and services also.

    Group 7 Project Management - Mumbai Monorail Page 13

    4.) Mumbais Traffic

    Everyone is aware of the current traffic scenario of Mumbai and its not wrong to say

    that its getting worse every other day. The current public transportation facilities

    available has not been able to cope up with sudden burst of population in the city in

    the last couple of decades. Though there has been improvement in public

    transportation but has not complemented the increase of the population. Thus it will

    definitely address the worsening condition of traffic in the city. It will reduce

    considerable travel time especially in the peak office hours, which is the primary

    concern of the office goers. The ease of traffic will definitely improve the road and

    transportation conditions of the city. It will also be an important factor in controlling

    air and noise pollution as dependence on public transportation will increase. It will

    also provide better connectivity for more number of routes and facilitate easy and

    better transportation for every strata of the people at very affordable prices. The

    improvement in the traffic will make it easier to manage and save people from the

    harassment and inconvenience faced at the peak office hours. Thus it will definitely

    have a positive impact on the overall traffic scenario of Mumbai and in future will

    lead to further improvement of the same.

    5.) Environment & Land

    The monorail is much more environment friendly as compared to other currently

    available transportation modes. It is battery operated and the consumption of fuel per

    unit person is comparatively low. The pollution will also be reduced, as it is primarily

    battery operated. Moreover the land acquisition is considerably lesser than metro or

    other such transportation modes. Thus considerable reduction in the land required also

    adds benefit to this mode. However many places it either requires elevated platforms

    or underground tunnels and thus been a cause of discomfort for it. The primary reason

    for such things being proper details werent either available or not looked into detail

    which required lots of drawing changes at latter stages and thus increasing the

    timeline and cost of the whole project. These things basically fall into purview of the

    management and imply their failure at the planning stage. However if carried properly

    then it might not be of much discomfort and value to the environment and require less

    land comparatively.

    6.) Larsen & Toubro

    L&T is one of Indias premier construction and EPC contractor and has showed its

    prowess in this field as it has been associated with a large number of difficult and

    different projects across the country and also in many others parts of the world.

    However this project was still a challenge for it to work upon and had posed lots of

    difficulties and required innovation for the pertaining area and to some specific

    problems. Though this kind of projects have been implemented in other parts of the

    world, however for L&T it was a new challenge. This project in particular added new

    dimension to its capabilities and it challenged their capabilities and process right from

    the design stage till the completion stage. These problems and the quest for their

    solutions enhanced its capabilities and raised its level of work in both design and

    construction. Thus L&T learned a lot along with employees and thus enriching themin every possible manner. Moreover this being a government project, it will make it

    more favorite and add more credentials to its stature and trust, making a more suitable

    candidate in the future for similar projects or for that matter even to challenging

    projects.

    7.) Vendors/ Suppliers

    The number of vendors involved in this project was huge and thus involved lots of

    small and big players at each and every stage of the project. This helped in bringing in

    small vendors which were being engulfed by big suppliers even though they had

    better products or services. Thus it gave equal opportunities to such suppliers.

    Moreover bigger players also got a good chunk of the project and were content to

    quite a large extension. This also helped in better management of the suppliers and

    reducing dependence of the few bigger suppliers. It also increased their capabilities as

    some customized and specific products or tools were demanded. Proper supply chain

    Group 7 Project Management - Mumbai Monorail Page 15

    management of a large number of products was also one of the key learning of this

    project.

    RISK ASSOCIATED WITH MUMBAI MONORAIL:

    Program Level Risk:

    1. Any delay in the phase 1 can impact the phase 2 line.

    2. The Stakeholders such as Mumbai urban Development, Indian Railways, Scomic

    engineering, Larsen and Toubro and Local People can impact the Phase 2 line.

    3.

    Parallel start of Work can mitigate the risk, but in this case the cost and resource used

    will be more.

    Project Level Risk:

    1.

    Delay in Land acquisition and approval from different Departments such as

    electricity, railway and others have impacted in achieving the milestone

    2. Improper Route Analysis caused the rework and leads to more cost.

    3. Proper co-ordination, speedy approval and appropriate initial study can mitigate the

    risk.

    Sub-Project level Risk:

    1.

    The above issue can lead to fast track operation of the project and partial finished

    work delivery, such as monorail station are not completely finished yet

    2. The Trial run and testing is not completed, which is impacting some of the security

    aspect such as door automatically get opened in between station.

    RISK IMPACT ANALYSIS:

    The different type of risk Identified is as below:

    currently it ran from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. After 6 months from the inauguration the line is

    attracting only 14,000-15,000 passengers daily, which is well short of their projected number

    of 17,000-18,000. But it is very difficult to evaluate success or failure of any project in veryshort span of time. Same in the case of Mumbai Monorail we cannot say Mumbai Monorail

    totally failed, but here we are trying to analyze the factors which may be causes in future to

    fail Mumbai Monorail project.

    Wadala and Chembur route there are lots of factories and remote area located as compare to

    shopping malls and corporate offices and companies. So mostly passengers of the monorail

    are blue color workers and labors rather than white color employees of the companies. Andthese labors cannot afford costly tickets as well as they generally hesitate to use complex

    monorail transportation system.

    Route of the

    monorail is in J shape so

    that distance between the

    two stations Wadala and

    Chembur is 8.9 km and via

    roadways only 5.2 km. So

    those who are travelling by

    car and other personal

    vehicle can easily reach via

    road in less time and with

    more comfort. Another

    problem with the route is

    that there is no

    connectivity of suburban

    railway from monorail

    station, again passenger have to take either bus, auto or taxi to use metro or local train.

    Because of its lack of flexibilitythe rails are immovableit will necessarily require another

    form of public transport system for passengers to complete their journey from the monorail to

    their homes.

    Ticket Fare:

    The problem with attracting travelers is also a matter of the monorail's utility and cost of a

    ticket. The Mumbai monorail fare between Wadala Road to Chembur stations is 5-20 rupees

    per person, or $0.2 USD, which is little bit costly for the labor class passengers as compare to

    for the same distance on Mumbai Suburban Railway. But it is very cheap in comparison to

    other countries where monorail is running successfully but in those countries per capita

    income is high and passenger can afford luxury journey but in India scenarios are different.

    Cost:

    The cost of the monorail service was estimated in 2010 to be 2.0 billion (roughly 850

    million (US$14 million) per km). Approximately 135 kilometers (84 million) of line is

    planned to be built in phases between 2011 and 2031. Due to several issues like stakeholder,

    land, raw material dead line of the project extended so many times On the face of it, the

    monorail seems an unnecessarily extravagant expense. The first phase cost Rs1100 crore

    which was four times greater than expected cost. And result of that for government its very

    difficult to recover those cost with another problems-high ticket fare and less passenger.

    Time:

    The Maharashtra Chief Minister Ashok Chavan laid the foundation stone at Chembur on 9

    February 2009 and it is expected to complete around in 2 years at April 2011. The project

    was delayed by several reasons, removal of encroachments, involving land, delays in getting

    permissions from the civic body and railways and missed several deadlines for completion.

    The following months had all been announced as deadlines for the first phase - December

    2010, May 2011, November 2011, May 2012, December 2012, June 2013, August 2013, 15

    September 2013, October 2013 and December 2013 and finally first monorail of India started2ndFeb of 2014.

    RECOMMENDATIONS

    Monorail is suitable for city having less population and less density. The capacity to cost ratio

    is less compared to Metro Rail. Monorail cost 150 crore per km and Metro rail cost around250 crore per km whereas Special Bus corridor costs 25 crore per Km. For the same km

    construction cost is almost 6 times more than Special Bus Corridor and Passenger carrying

    capacity is 5-6 times higher than Monorail.

    From the above we can conclude the Project selection was wrong. So we suggestplanning

    the Monorail as the Feeder service to city from the Metro Rail.
