The much-delayed Metro Green Line 4, which runs through the eastern suburbs, has moved ahead with work orders for the car shed and track lying in place.

“Significant progress has been made in the construction of the Mumbai to Thane Metro network as the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has now appointed a contractor for the construction of the Mogharpada depot (car shed) in Thane. The depot will serve Mumbai Metro Green Line Routes 4 and 4A, connecting Wadala to Gaimukh. SEW-VSE (JV) will be conducting the work with the lowest bid of Rs 9,05,00,00,000 for the construction of the depot,” an official said.
