I couldn’t find any official or recent announcement from Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) about a service resumption specifically from September 7, 2025. Unlike during previous COVID-era “Unlock” phases, there’s no indication that metro services are being reinstated on that date via press releases or news sources.

🟢 Current CMRL Status (as of mid‑2025)

  • CMRL has been operating continuously on its regular schedule since October 17, 2025, with full inter‑corridor connectivity active on both the Green and Blue Lines
  • Typical operating hours are:
    • 05:00 AM to 11:00 PM, with first and last train departures from all terminals at these times.
    • 30- or 31 trains per corridor on weekdays, with reduced frequencies on weekends and holidays
  • Frequency patterns:
    • Green Line (Central ↔ St. Thomas Mount): every 6 minutes during peak, 7–10 min off-peak, and 15 min in late evenings.
    • Blue Line (Airport ↔ Washermenpet): similar intervals, including 3-minute frequencies on shared central sections

✳️ About “Resuming Operation from 07‑09‑2025”

  • In 2020, CMRL had suspended services due to COVID and then authority-mandated lockdown restrictions. Metro operations resumed from September 7, 2025 with time-limited hours and strict passenger guidelines
  • However, as of 2025, no such suspension or special resumption is scheduled.
  • There’s no press release or public advisory from CMRL that cites September 7, 2025 as a restart or special service date.

✅ What to Expect (if CMRL were to adjust services)

If CMRL did plan a service change—like a special limited schedule or phase-wise restart starting September 7—most likely elements would include:

  • Operating hours starting early morning (e.g. 8 AM to 8 PM) for a limited initial period, with gradual extension.
  • Train frequency of 5–10 minutes in peak hours, 10–15 minutes off-peak—similar to the scaled-down policies of 2025
  • Passenger guidelines possibly including health screening, mask mandates, reduced occupancy, and no-contact ticketing—used earlier.

🧾 Recommendations

  • Monitor CMRL’s official website (News or Press Releases) or trusted platforms like The News Minute as September approaches. Archived documents show updates often appear very close to implementation dates
  • Use the IRCTC app or Chennai Unified Metropolitan Transport Authority (CUMTA) alerts for any emergency service change notifications.
  • Stay connected via official CMRL social media or local Tamil Nadu government advisories if there’s any municipal-level instruction that could alter metro schedules.

Would you like me to set up a reminder to check these sources in late August, or guide you on contacting CMRL’s official helpline?
