Mumbai’s Metro network is set for a major boost, with several corridors nearing completion and ready to open in the coming months. Alongside this, the new Mandale Metro depot, home to India’s largest Metro training centre, is ready for inauguration. Additionally, the much-awaited ‘Mumbai One’ app, integrating 11 public transport operators, including the Mumbai suburban railway for the first time, is also poised for launch.

Metro Lines 4 and 4A, which will connect Wadala to Kasarvadavli via Ghatkopar and Mulund, aim to ease east-west connectivity in the city

Corridors to open

At least four Metro corridors are expected to partially open by the end of 2025. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is building a 12-line Metro network spanning 337.1 km across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). So far, four lines (58.9 km total, including the 12.44 km underground Aqua Line 3) are operational. Eight more lines (165.7 km) are under construction, while others are in planning or tendering stages. Trial runs for the Yellow Line 2B are ongoing, and MMRDA has issued tenders to transport Metro coaches for the Green Line 4.
