Shortly after selecting two new contractors, Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has restarted construction on metro line 7 covering a dow istance of 17 km between Dahisar and Andheri stretch. Prior to this, MMRDA had cancelled the contract of Simplex Infrastructure for 5.5 km from Aarey junction on western Express Highway of metro line 7. Metropolitan Commissioner, RA Rajeev, said that they would complete the metro projects within the stipulated timelines. Simplex infrastructure was awarded ₹348 crore contract, however, just 75% of the work has been completed and now the contract has been given to J Kumar, which will work for the viaduct, while NCC will focus on the station work. Commuters will have now have to wait for three more months for a ride on Metro 2A (Dahisar-DN Nagar) and Metro 7 (Dahisar East -Andheri East). The two metro rail corridors were to be operational by December this year but now MMRDA is looking at another three-month delay with migrant workers gone.
