Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday launched three metro lines in Mumbai. These include the 9.2-km Metro 10 corridor between Gaimukh and Shivaji Chowk (Mira Road), a 20.7-km Metro 12 corridor from Kalyan to Taloja and a 12.8-km long Metro 11 corridor between Wadala and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus.

The PM also laid the foundation for the 32-storey Metro Bhavan that is set to come up inside Aarey Colony. The building that will be the metro project's integrated operations and control centre has faced stiff protest from citizens since it will eat up a part of the city's green cover. Besides this, Modi also inaugurated the Bandongri Metro station on the Andheri (East) to Dahisar (East) Metro 7 corridor and unveiled the Brand Vision Document of Maha Mumbai Metro. In his speech, he praised CM Devendra Fadnavis for his accomplishments as the chief minister and the MMRDA, for taking up important infrastructure projects such as the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link project and the BKC-Chunabhatti connector.
