The firm is an associate and partner with J Kumar & Mumbai Metro to contribute to the safety and reliability of Mumbai’s first underground Metro 3 (Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ) or Aqua Line project inaugurated by PM Modi.

Ravin Group has been a preferred partner for the supply and supervision of the installation of the highly specialised fire survival and other electric cables for Metro Line 3, as well as other Metros under construction.

The total supplies for the Metro projects in Mumbai, Pune, and Jammu & Kashmir exceed INR 300 crores, highlighting the scale and significance of these infrastructure initiatives. A key product utilised to ensure safety, including fire safety and fire survival, was the “Ignamo” cables. In total, Ravin supplied over 3,000 kilometres of cables specifically for these dedicated projects, emphasising their commitment to quality and safety in urban transport development.

In underground Metros, enclosed places, high-rise buildings etc., securing lives and property from fire hazards are of paramount importance. Ignamo Fire survival cables from Ravin are designed to withstand the severest of fires for a period of 120 minutes and more without losing their circuit integrity, and at the same time do not emit smoke or toxic fumes when burning. They are designed, manufactured and tested in the most exacting conditions to meet the highest safety and performance standards and then installed under expert supervision.

For the Metro Line 3, J Kumar Infraprojects Ltd in association with Ravin, played a key role in this milestone in Mumbai’s urban transformation. Once operational, the Metro 3 Aqua Line will provide seamless connectivity, ensuring safer and more efficient travel for commuters.
