[citation needed] BEML had signed a memorandum of understanding with KRC for exclusive manufacture and supply of innovative skybus bogies, the prototype development of sky-bus for the first time in the country.

The coaches are double walled lightweight shells with wide larger windows & are suspended below the rails.

On 25 September, one employee was killed and three injured in an accident when the coaches hit the concrete track pillars, ending the trial.

[9] Managing director Bhanu Prakash Tayal shared that KRC was unable to engineer critical components like the "swing arrestor" and "switching apparatus" which could have potentially addressed the safety concerns that surrounded the project since the 2004 accident.

[10] In October, 2013 the Konkan Railway Corporation (KRC) decided to discontinue the SkyBus project to curb expenses.

The KRC had solicited interest from foreign firms to maintain and upgrade the test track; this was met with poor response which also contributed to the decision to dismantle.

[6] The state government of Goa considered reviving Skybus for a north-south metro rail project in 2018.

[11] Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari has advocated for building Skybus systems for Delhi-Gurgaon, Bengaluru, and Pune.

In October 2023, he visited a suspended train system build by uSky Technologies in Sharjah, United Arab Emirates.
