Meanwhile, questions are raised over the work of Mumbai metro's Line 6 to make the line operational by its deadline.

Civil works related to the 15.31-km Mumbai Metro Pink Line 6, which links Swami Samarth Nagar in Lokhandwala and Vikhroli, is expected to be ready by October 2024, but trains and a planned car shed at Kanjurmarg are nowhere to be seen. The public commissioning of the line has been pushed to 2026 as there have been delays in the procurement of rolling stock due to technical issues.

The car shed has been delayed as more land is required for it. With the delay related to rolling stock and the car shed, the commissioning of the Pink Line may not happen this year or next year as planned earlier but will be pushed ahead to 2026.
