US EditionMumbai Coastal Road Set to Be India’s First Musical Stretch, Playing ‘Jai Ho’ for Commuters
Mumbai's Coastal Road features a 500-metre musical stretch using Hungarian technology, playing 'Jai Ho' when vehicles exceed 60 km/h, marking India's first such pilot.
- On February 11, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis led the inauguration at 12.30 pm, experiencing Mumbai's musical stretch.
- Following earlier trials overseas, Mumbai's civic body used Hungarian technology and experts to implement the melody-road concept, which traces to a 2007 Japanese discovery by Shizuo Shinoda.
- Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation installed grooves and rumble strips that generate the song `Jai Ho` from tyre friction on the northbound carriageway, triggered at about 60 kmph.
- The musical stretch runs 500 metres between Priyadarshini Park and Amarsons Garden near the TBM tunnel northbound exit, with civic administration signboards alerting motorists ahead.
- BMC stated that the stretch is India's first and the world's fifth such road, with officials signaling plans to expand Sangeet Marg and pilot it on the Samruddhi Expressway.
