Mumbai Metro Network Expansion Plan:

The Mumbai Metro was inaugurated in June 2006 by the then Prime Minister of India Manmohan Singh, who laid the foundation stone for the first section of this ambitious transport project. Designed to be constructed in three phases over a period of 15 years, the entire metro network is expected to be completed by October 2026. Once completed, the main system will consist of sixteen high-capacity metro lines, covering a total distance of over 523 kilometres (325 mi). 25% of it will be underground, while the rest will be elevated, with a small portion built at ground level. The network will be supported by 350 stations.
