Mumbai monorail train tilts at Wadala during test run

A major scare hit Mumbai’s monorail network on Wednesday (November 5, 2025) when a train tilted off the track during a test run near the Wadala depot. Fortunately, no passengers were on board and no serious injuries were reported.

The incident took place around 9 am while engineers were conducting routine signalling and switch-over trials on a newly delivered monorail rake. During the process of shifting from one beam to another, the train reportedly slipped and tilted to one side.

Eyewitnesses and staff stationed nearby quickly alerted emergency services after noticing the lean. Two staff members inside the rake were safely rescued, and a few reports mentioned one motorman sustaining minor injuries.
