Work on two key Metro corridors linking Mumbai’s western and eastern suburbs via Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) and the airport has been accelerated, with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) pushing parallel progress on track installation and station systems, even as civil structures are still being completed. The move is aimed at cutting execution timelines and avoiding last-mile delays on Metro Lines 2B and 7A, both of which are critical for cross-city connectivity and airport access.
