MMRC completes Metro line 3 DPR, awaits govt nod
The decision to extend Metro 3 to Navy Nagar was initially announced during the budget speech of 2022-23 by the then Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Ajit Pawar of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government.
At present, the MMRC is focused on laying tracks for the remaining part of Phase 1. Subsequently, they will proceed with installing overhead electrical lines in both directions, paving the way for trial runs on the complete Phase 1 between Aarey and BKC stations.
The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has completed the Detailed Project Report (DPR) for the expansion of the underground Metro Line 3 up to Navy Nagar, encompassing a five-kilometre stretch (2.5 km in each direction). The DPR is now awaiting approval from the state government, said an official.
The decision to extend Metro 3 to Navy Nagar was initially announced during the budget speech of 2022-23 by the then Deputy Chief Minister and Finance Minister Ajit Pawar of the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government. It was prompted by a request from the Indian Navy office to the state government.
The extension is anticipated to be beneficial for the residents of this densely populated area, which includes residential quarters for central government employees and others.
