Phase 1 of MRT Putrajaya Line still undergoing rectification, says MRT Corp

KUALA LUMPUR (Jan 21): Phase 1 of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Putrajaya Line is still undergoing some rectification by the turnkey contractor in preparation for full operations, said MRT Corp Sdn Bhd.

On Nov 16, MRT Corp chief executive officer Datuk Mohd Zarif Hashim said the line may be ready for revenue service in the second quarter of 2022. 

Prior to the announcement, MRT Corp postponed the opening date of Phase 1 of the MRT Putrajaya Line from August to mid-November 2021.

Trial operations of Phase 1 have been ongoing since April 29, 2021.

A total of 16 trains have been running between the Kwasa Damansara MRT Station and the Kampung Batu MRT Station in full-service mode — minus the passengers — to stimulate actual operations.

The MRT Putrajaya Line (formerly known as the Sungai Buloh-Serdang-Putrajaya Line) runs through 56.2km and has 36 stations for Phases 1 and 2, starting from the Kwasa Damansara MRT Station to Putrajaya.

“Meanwhile, the construction of Phase 2 is also progressing well,” MRT Corp told Bernama via email. 

As of Oct 4, the construction of Phase 2 was 93.52% completed, and it is expected to begin operations in January 2023.
