The MMRDA has invited separate proposals from agencies for securing, maintaining and leasing of bulk commercial advertisement rights to display advertisements on Mono Rail piers and for securing advertisements at all the seven stations on the 8.80-km long Chembur-Wadala Mono corridor – making available in all 355 piers and more than 50,000 sq.ft. for advertisers.
“While the 355 piers will generate an advertising space of approximately 26,340 sq feet; the seven Monorail stations and 40 piers under them will have 25,700 sq feet space available for advertising. This includes piers, platform space, concourse area, railings, staircases and other exterior surfaces of stations will also be made available for advertisements by way of digital display, glow-signs, vinyl wrapping etc.”, said Dilip Kawathkar, Joint Project Director (PR), MMRDA.
