Mumbai Metro Line 2B (Yellow Line): Route, Stations, Timings, Fare & Status

Western: D.N. Nagar – Saraswat Nagar

Runs largely along S.V. Road through ESIC Nagar, Prem Nagar, Indira Nagar, Nanavati Hospital, Khira Nagar and Saraswat Nagar, serving Juhu, Vile Parle, Santacruz and Khar. Part of this stretch near Vile Parle lies close to the airport flight path, which affected the viaduct design.

Central: Saraswat Nagar – Diamond Garden

Via National College and Bandra into BKC (Income Tax Office, IL&FS, MTNL), then S.G. Barve Marg, Kurla East and the Eastern Express Highway to Chembur. The most complex stretch, with the longest delays.

Eastern: Chembur – Mandale (open)

Chembur, Diamond Garden, Shivaji Chowk, BSNL Metro, Mankhurd and Mandale — serving Chembur, Deonar, Govandi and Mankhurd.

Mumbai’s rail network mostly runs north–south, so east–west trips like Bandra to Chembur depend on congested roads. When complete, Line 2B is expected to cut travel time on this corridor by 50–75%, give direct metro access to BKC from both suburbs, and connect Line 1, 2A, 3 and 4, the Monorail, and the Western and Harbour railway lines.

Early ridership on the standalone Mandale – Diamond Garden stretch was low, which is why MMRDA fast-tracked Chembur station to link the line with local trains and the Monorail.

Together they form the full Yellow Line from Dahisar to Mandale. See Metro Line 2A.

The Mandale depot covers about 30 hectares on two levels and can hold up to 72 trains — one of the largest metro depots in the country. Line 2B uses six-coach, India-built BEML trains with regenerative braking, CCTV, mobile charging points and space for bicycles.

Line 2 was originally one Dahisar – Bandra – Mankhurd corridor, later split into Line 2A and Line 2B. The state cabinet approved Line 2B in 2016 at ₹10,986 crore and work began in 2018. Several civil packages were re-tendered more than once; the western package went to J Kumar Infraprojects and the MTNL – Chembur package to NCC in 2023. Two proposed stations — MMRDA Office and Kurla Terminus — were dropped. These delays pushed the original 2022 target back by several years.

Partly. The Mandale – Chembur section with 6 stations is open. The rest of the line to D.N. Nagar is under construction.

Trains run from about 6:00 AM to about 10:30 PM, roughly every 9–10 minutes.

Fares are distance-based and start at ₹10. A trip across the full operational section costs about ₹20–₹30.

Chembur, Diamond Garden, Shivaji Chowk, BSNL Metro, Mankhurd and Mandale.

At Mankhurd and Chembur, both on the Harbour line. At Chembur you can also change to the Monorail at V N Purav Marg.

Line 2B runs from D.N. Nagar in Andheri West to Mandale in Mankhurd, via Juhu, Vile Parle, Santacruz, Khar, Bandra, BKC, Kurla and Chembur.

The full line is about 23.6 km long and fully elevated, with 20 stations.

Yes, once the central section opens. The Income Tax Office station in BKC will be the interchange with Line 3.

They are two halves of the same Yellow Line. Line 2A runs from Dahisar East to D.N. Nagar, and Line 2B continues from D.N. Nagar to Mandale.

MMRDA has not announced a firm date. The D.N. Nagar – Saraswat Nagar section is expected next, with the central section through BKC and Kurla last.

Get off at Chembur and take a Harbour line local train towards CSMT, or the Monorail towards Wadala and Jacob Circle.
