The city’s wait for more Metro lines won’t be long now, top MMRDA officials have said. Mumbai Metro trains may run earlier than expected, if a thought the authorities are exploring works out. The authorities plan to use pit lines at end stations for maintenance so there won’t be a need to wait for car sheds to get commissioned. This, despite the MMRDA saying they are trying to expedite works on various car sheds that are taking time for completion due to land acquisition delays and other complexities.

Works are underway on multiple metro corridors and procurement of car shed land for the corridors is in progress. The car sheds include Mogharpada (Green Line Metro 4), Kasheli (Orange Line Metro 5), Kanjurmarg (Pink Line Metro 6) and Uttan (Red Line Metro 9).
