The Mumbai Underground Metro | Project Nears Completion, Phase 1 Seepz-BKC May Be Ready By Dec 2023

The Mumbai Underground Metro: Mumbai Metro-3, the first fully underground metro of Mumbai, is built at Rs 33,000 cr nears completion.
Spanning 33.5 km, the metro has 26 stations with a depot.
Since its construction in 2016, the metro has faced controversies and challenges. Right from the protest against allocating Aarey land to constructing tunnels below the heritage buildings in South Mumbai.
Phase 1 from SEEPZ to BKC will likely start from December 2023, whereas Phase 2 from BKC to Cuffe Parade will be ready by July 2024.
Once fully operational, it will carry 17 lakh passengers per day.
Check the video to know how the Mumbai Metro-3 will become the second lifeline of Mumbai.

A very great example of of team dynamics and efficient management is Mumbai Metro and various other projects under the BJP leadership. At political level - coordinate and retaliate those who oppose the welfare projects of the people as they don’t get any money cut from the public exchequer hence they pour all their machinery to derail the project. Secondly, at beaurocratic level you need to deal with firmly and for that kudos to Ashwini ji for their immaculate experience and conviction.

Well I truly Appreciate all the efforts of Government and Construction Companies and Project Associates for building such an amazing Infrastructure. But at what cost we are gaining this convenience is the most important aspect here. Firstly major part of aarey was eradicated which was a loss for ecosystem. Also many of roads were almost vanished which caused traffic a lot. Many of playing grounds and parks were digged which is quite understandable but they were not restored as it was before.

Oh really andhbhkton..under ground project was started in 2004..A 20 km (12 mi) metro line from Colaba to Bandra was announced in January 2004, as part of a master plan unveiled by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA). The plan encompassed a total of 146 kilometres (91 mi) of track, of which 32 kilometres (20 mi) was proposed to be underground. The MMRDA unveiled plans for an extended Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ metro line in 2011. According to its earlier plans, a 20 km (12 mi) metro line from Colaba to Bandra was to be constructed, running underground for 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) from Colaba to Mahalaxmi, and then on an elevated track from Mahalaxmi to Bandra. The MMRDA decided to extend the line to the Chatrapati Shivaji International Airport to increase ridership. The 33.5-kilometre (20.8 mi) Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ line was estimated to cost ₹21,000 crore (US$2.6 billion),[21] have 27 stations, and would be the city's first fully underground metro line.[22] at Nariman Point, BKC, MIDC, SEEPZ, and elsewhere.[23] According to the MMRDA, an underground metro will minimise land acquisition and disturbance to traffic during construction compared to an elevated metro.tumhara Abba Credit lene ajta bus
