Kolkata Metro train MRTS train in Chennai Delhi Metro train Namma Metro train in Bangalore Metro rail lines in India are composed of both Standard gauge and Broad gauge. Projects like the Delhi Metro used Broad Gauge for their earliest lines but most new projects in India are on standard gauge as rolling stock imported from Europe is on Standard Gauge. One exception is the Ahmedabad Metro, which will use Broad gauge, as there is more place available inside the coach.[7] In the long term, using Broad gauge may also allow for freight movement of containers from the Indian Railway network on the Metro train network and increased capacity within the train cars. Monorail[edit source | editbeta] The first monorail in India was the Patiala State Monorail Trainways which opened in February 1907 and closed in 1927.[8][9] A monorail system was also operated in Kerala, which was eventually converted into a narrow gauge line.[10] The Mumbai Monorail will be the first monorail in India[11] (excluding the Skybus Metro Test Track in Goa) since the closing of the Patiala State Monorail Trainways in 1927. The first portion of the first line is scheduled to be operational by December 2012. Many other Indian cities have Monorail projects, as a feeder system to the Metro, in different phases of planning.
