The existing suburban rail system is under extreme pressure and role of the bus system is limited for

providing feeder
services to suburban railways. There are constraints to expand the road and rail network capacity. Many pockets in
Island city & suburbs are not served by rail based mass transport system. Mumbai Metro Master Plan has been
undertaken to provide a rail based mass transit facility to people residing in the areas that are not connected by existing
Suburban Rail System so as to enable them to reach the stations within the distances of ½ to 1 k.m. Mumbai
Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) appointed M/s. Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) (who was
assisted by TATA Consultancy Services (TCS) and Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Mumbai) in May, 2003 to
prepare the Master Plan for Mumbai Metro and Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the priority corridors. The Master
Plan for Mumbai Metro along with phased implementation was approved by the Authority of MMRDA, in its meeting,
held on 28th May, 2004. The Master Plan includes 9 corridors covering a length of 146.5 km, out of which 32.5 km is
underground and rest elevated. A public hearing was conducted on 22nd January, 2004 for opinions, suggestions and
comments on the Master Plan.

While deciding the Metro Implementation strategy and preparing the DPRs, the Master Plan has been partly modified.

List of Revised Master Plan corridors proposed for implementation is

as below :

Sr. Length
Corridor
No. (Km)

1 Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar 11.40

2 Dahisar-Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd 40.00

3 Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ (Andheri) 33.50

Wadala-Ghatkopar-Mulund-Thane-
4 32.00
Kasarwadavali

5 Bhiwandi-Kalyan 23.10

Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road-SEEPZ-

6 10.50
Kanjurmarg

7 Andheri (East)-Dahisar (East) 18.00

8 Sewri- Prabhadevi 3.50

 Total 172.00

* Note : DPR of 46 k.m. long High Speed Metro Corridor from Andheri (East) upto Mankhurd via Ghatkopar is
completed (extendable upto Panvel), to ensure connectivity between Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport
and Navi Mumbai International Airport.

Metro corridors connect important railway stations like Churchgate, Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus, Mumbai Central,
International and Domestic Airports and major business hubs. These corridors will have interchange facilities with
Suburban Stations and connecting neighbouring areas of Thane, Navi Mumbai, Vasai, Virar etc. After implementation
of Mumbai Metro Master Plan, approximately 70 lakh commuters are expected to get benefit which in turn will
substantially reduce the traffic on roads and congestion in suburban railways.

Out of the above Master Plan Corridors, only 11.4 km of Metro Line between-Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar has become
operational and Metro Line-3 : Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ (Andheri) is being implemented through a SPV Mumbai Metro
Rail Corporation (MMRC). Bidding process is in progress for award of Civil works.

The Government is keen to implement the rest of the corridors in the shortest possible time. Accordingly MMRDA and
the State Government accorded approval for implementation of following 118 km elevated Metro corridors in next 4
years.
