Navi Mumbai Metro Rail News & Updates
Last month, the launch of Navi Mumbai Metro service, which has been waiting for 12 years, has received a good response from the passengers. More than 4.30 lakh passengers have used this service in just one month. Navi Mumbai generated ₹1.16 crore from ticket sales, Hindustan Times reported, adding that families are flocking to urban areas of the service to take advantage of it, especially during holidays.
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has decided to connect the proposed 'Metro 12' line between Kalyan-Dombivli-Taloja with the Belapur-Pendhar line in Navi Mumbai. Therefore, passengers will have an easy and fast option to travel between Kalyan and Belapur in the coming years.
The City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO), the nodal agency for the Navi Mumbai Metro (NMM) project, has approved implementation of NMM Line 2, 3 and 4 with modified mode of transport viz MetroNeo in place of standard gauge Metro.
The development comes as the metro agency is readying to operationalise Line 1 once the final statutory clearance of Commission of Railway Safety (CMRS) is received.
