An advanced Metro System needed for the Metropolitan City: Mumbai Metro
Metro Rail News|February 2023
The idea to build the Mumbai Metro, with the purpose of providing alternate transport facility to Mumbaikars started taking reality in 2006, when the foundation stone for phase-I according to the Mumbai Metro map was set.
An advanced Metro System needed for the Metropolitan City: Mumbai Metro

However, operational and policy bottlenecks caused the Mumbai metro routes to be delayed. There are now only three Mumbai Metro routes in operation. Two of them are new metro lines in Mumbai.

On January 19, 2023, Prime Minister Narendra Modi dedicated the Mumbai Metro lines 2A and 7 to the nation. Modi rode the metro from Gundivali train station to Mogra and back. In 2015, the Prime Minister laid the groundwork for these two lines. Mumbai Metro will also be compatible with the National Common Mobility Card, which conforms to the One Nation, One Card approach. From October 2022, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) have begun trial runs for these two metro lines. When both sections of the Mumbai Metro lines - Line 2A and Line 7 - are fully operational, they shall carry close to 3 lakh passengers.

The projected cost of the Line 2A Mumbai metro project is Rs 6,410 crore. Lines 2 A and 7 in Mumbai will feature two interchanges, one at Dahisar and the other at DN Nagar metro station, with the existing Mumbai Metro Line 1. (Ghatkopar and Versova). The Mumbai 1 mobile app introduced, will have all Mumbai metro-related information and also help in buying tickets online by payment using UPI.

The first phase of the Mumbai metro routes ‘Metro 2A’ (Dahisar to DN Nagar) and ‘Metro 7’ (Dahisar East to Andheri East) made operational for passengers on April 2, 2022. Every day, more than 3 lakh commuters are projected to use the new metro lines. The first section of the new Mumbai Metro 2A route is from Dahisar to Dahanykarwadi, and the first phase of the new Mumbai Metro 7 route is from Dahisar to Aarey colony.
