In a major step toward extending Mumbai’s underground Metro network into the city’s dense and historic core, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) on Diwali day (Monday) floated tenders to appoint an interim consultant for the proposed Metro Line 11 — a 17.4-km fully underground corridor from Anik Depot to Gateway of India. The alignment is expected to mirror parts of the old tramway and BEST bus corridors that once defined east Mumbai’s transport spine, with an integrated depot at Anik.
The multi-crore project — detailed in MMRCL’s latest Request For Proposal (RFP) and approved by the Maharashtra government — will weave through some of Mumbai’s most congested and heritage-sensitive neighbourhoods. The proposed line will have 14 stations (13 underground and one at-grade), connecting the city’s eastern edge from Wadala to Colaba via Byculla, Nagpada, and Bhendi Bazaar.
