Mumbai Metro Yellow Line

The Mumbai Metropolitan Development Authority (MMRDA) announced that Metro Line 5 will now be 34.21 kilometers long, making it one of the largest metro corridors in the entire Mumbai Metropolitan Region. This announcement comes after the approval of a new extension called Metro Line 5A, which adds 11.83 kilometers to the original 22.38-kilometer project.

Preliminary work is about to begin for the proposed extension of the Mumbai Metro 11 line from Wadala to Bandra Terminus via Dharavi. The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has begun the process of mapping underground utilities along the route before construction begins. This extension is part of the massive Metro 11 corridor that connects Wadala to the Gateway of India via Nagpada and Crawford Market.

The Government of Maharashtra has approved the extension of Mumbai Metro Line 5A at a cost of ₹4,063 crore to enhance connectivity, providing a major boost to transportation links in Ulhasnagar and its surrounding areas. This new metro corridor will connect Ulhasnagar to Sindhu Nagar Station, thereby fulfilling a long-standing demand of the residents and offering relief from traffic congestion.

A fire broke out at the underground T2 Airport Metro station in Andheri East, Mumbai, on May 6, 2026. According to officials, passengers were safely evacuated after the incident. Emergency crews immediately arrived at the scene after smoke was spotted in the station premises. The incident, which occurred around 4:10 pm, also briefly disrupted metro rail services on the underground corridor of the Metro Aqua Line 3 between Aarey JVLR and Cuffe Parade.

During the ongoing construction of Metro Line 2B in BKC, a 400-ton mobile crane lifting a prefabricated beam overturned near the Asian Heart Hospital junction due to a mechanical failure. The accident occurred during overnight work by contractor J. Kumar Infraprojects Limited. No injuries or casualties have been reported.
