The construction of a Metro depot at Kanjurmarg salt pan land will potentially facilitate the completion of the line. However, the non-availability of depot land may delay the commercial operation deadline of Metro Lines 6, 4, and 5, despite their civil works being in full swing.
Metro Line 6 is a crucial addition to the public transport infrastructure in Mumbai, providing rail-based connectivity between the western and eastern suburbs and contributing to an integrated network for Mumbaikars. With 13 stations, 66% of the work on the line is already complete, and 51.50% of the civil work on the metro stations has been done. The 15.31-km-long Metro line runs through JVLR, an elevated corridor that links the Western and Eastern Express Highways as well as the North-South and East-West regions of Mumbai. The rail line is expected to serve governmental, commercial, and geographically significant areas of the city.
