Up to 2001 the Lingqiao Tap Water Co., Ltd. was responsible for (besides water supply) rail transit construction, and there was no separate project company responsible for construction and project investment. On 29 June 2001 a major asset restructuring took place:[3]

In 2013, with the establishment of the company's wholly-owned subsidiary "Shanghai Shentong Metro Line 1 Development Co., Ltd." (Chinese: 上海申通地铁 一号线发展有限公司), the company injected the business of Metro Line 1 into this subsidiary. At the same time, with the written consent of Shentong Metro Group, Shanghai Metro Line 1 management right was transferred to Shanghai No. 1 Metro Operation Co. Ltd. (Chinese: 上海地铁第一运营有限公司).
