Fast tracking the metro network building process, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) recently planned to invest Rs.62,943 crore to build nine metro corridors in the city and all of them are expected to be fully operational by 2021 and the train services on the network are expected to cater to more than 40 lakh commuters every day, Metropolitan Commissioner, MMRDA, U.P.S. Madan said. Adding further, he shared that considering the way masses of Mumbai have embraced the Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar Metro 1 corridor, it wouldn’t be surprised that numbers of metro users go beyond what has been estimated. The metro corridors will have a combined length of 157 km and more than 160 stations in the city and metropolitan region. The construction of two corridors are currently under way and the Dahisar (West) to D.N. Nagar Metro 2A project is being built at a cost of Rs.6,410 crore, and the Dahisar (East) to Andheri (East) Metro 7 at a cost of Rs.6,208 crore. The construction of three metro corridors will begin next year: D.N. Nagar to Mandale Metro 2B, Wadala-Ghatkopar to Thane-Kasarvadavali Metro 4, and Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli Metro-6 and that four more metro corridors are in the planning stages: Thane-Bhiwandi-Kalyan Metro 5, Wadala to GPO Metro 8, Andheri (East) to Bandra (East) Metro 9, and Dahisar (East) to Mira-Bhayandar Metro 10, he claimed.
