Back on track with new plan: MMRDA invites bids to finalise city’s longest Metro line DPR
Fresh DPR, funding rethink for 43 km corridor set to connect Kanjurmarg to Badlapur

With key parameters requiring revision, the authority is now looking to update the project details before moving towards execution.
