There will be a total of 20 metro stations in Navi Mumbai and among them, the construction of Phase 1 which is of 11 metro stations from CBD Belapur to Pendhar.
The Metro project has already received the RDSO certificate and Dynamic Clearance Certificate. The next step is to get the Commissioner of Metro Railway Safety Certificate (CMRS).
CIDCO took the construction work of this Navi Mumbai Metro to serve around one lakh passengers by 2027. The Railway Board of Government of India has approved the stocks for CIDCO’s Navi Mumbai Metro Project on 11th February 2022.
The next process is to get approval from the Civil work inspection, the Railway Board, and the CMRS for proceeding with direct transport.
The metro project for the entire region of Mumbai and the suburban areas is planned and developed by MMRDA.
To develop a better transport system for the growing population in Mumbai, the DMRC (Delhi Metro Rail Corporation) studied how to create a feasible metro project for Navi Mumbai.
Initially, the master plan for the Navi Mumbai Metro rail project was launched for six metro corridors which would cover 120 KMs only. However, after the plan was revised, DMRC suggested five metro corridors only with a distance of 106.4 kilometers.
The construction work for the finalized master plan was started in 2011 for Line 1. This plan was divided into three phases Phase 1 (Belapur – Pendhar), and the other phases were supposed to start by 2015. However, Phase 1 only took more than a decade to complete.
The Master plan of the Metro project included the following corridors:
