According to State Economic Survey, Metro 3 is the earliest corridor to open by 2023-24 as 79 per cent work on the project has been completed.
Of the nine metro corridors for which work is underway in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR), two are expected to open by 2024, five by 2025 and another 2 by 2026.
About 185 km length of metro work is being done in MMR, out of which 32.5 km (Colaba-Bandra-Seepz) Metro 3 underground corridor is executed by Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) and the remaining by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), reports stated.
According to State Economic Survey, Metro 3 is the earliest corridor to open by 2023-24 as 79 per cent work on the project has been completed.
MMRC plans to open the line in two phases, Aarey-BKC in December 2023 and BKC-Cuffe Parade in July 2024.
Meanwhile, another project whose work is in an advanced stage is the Metro 6 route that will connect Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli. MMRDA has achieved 63 per cent of its targeted works.
Besides, MMRDA has planned to partially open Line 9 on 5 km route between Dahisar and Mira Road in a year's time; though, the work has not begun yet. However, it has also come to light that the work for Line 4 (Wadala-Ghatkopar-Thane) is yet to be commenced.
The trains of Metro line 7 and 2A, whose depot is at Charkop, will be used for Line 9 when it is partially opened.
In 2024, it will be able to open only a 5 km stretch of Metro 2B whose entire corridor is 23-km-long between DN Nagar to Mandale. The stretch that will be opened partially will be between Diamond Garden and Mandale, where depot for Metro 2B is planned.
