The work has been entrusted to Government of Maharashtra (GoM) for execution on single entity basis. GoM is getting the work done through Maharashtra Rail Infrastructure Development Corporation Ltd. (MRIDCL) which is a joint venture company of GoM and Railways. The works were slightly delayed due to initial setting up of the systems in MRIDCL. Now, the works have been expedited.
