Plans afoot to connect Navi Mumbai with Mumbai metro
The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) is contemplating to connect Navi Mumbai metro with Mumbai metro and the agency has already shared the plan with the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) for three metro rail connectivity networks in Navi Mumbai. The construction of the first line Belapur-Taloja-Kalamboli-Mansarover is underway and the second line will connect the proposed Navi Mumbai Airport with Uran including Panvel and Seawoods and the third line will connect the airport with Mumbai‘s Metro line at Mankhurd. The connectivity between the two cities will make them as one city in the future. The planning agency has already sent a proposal to MMRDA for connecting Navi Mumbai Metro with the Mumbai Metro. The construction of the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL) is underway and around 65 per cent of its work has already been completed. This will help the MMRDA, as well as the CIDCO, to take both the Metro rail and suburban corridors up to Sewree from Nhava. Meanwhile, the two-day safety trial of line one of phase one between Central Park in Kharghar and Pendhar was completed and now the MahaMetro and CIDCO are awaiting CMRS approval for its commercial operation.
