Project History and Other Details
Planning and Construction Phase:
During his visit to Mumbai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi performed the Bhoomi puja for Mumbai Metro Line 7 and Metro Line 2A in October 2015.
As per the revised cost for the Metro Line 7 project, the estimated cost is to be ₹6,208 crores. The contract to design and construct metro line 7 was awarded to three infrastructure companies by Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
On 8th August 2016, the construction work started for the metro line. The project was estimated to be completed by Mid 2020; however, due to the Covid-19 pandemic and other factors affected the project's completion date.
In May 2021, MMRDA commenced trial runs on Lines 2A and 7. MMRDA officials had assured that the two lines would be fully operational for the public by October 2021, which was revised later.
The Metro Line - 7 route cover 14 stations – Dahisar East, Ovaripada, National Park, Devipada, Magathane, Poisar (formerly Mahindra & Mahindra), Akurli (formerly Bandongri), Kurar (formerly Pushpa Park), Dindoshi (formerly Pathanwadi), Aarey, Goregaon E (formerly Mahanand), Jogeshwari E (formerly JVLR Junction), Shankarwadi, Gundavali (formerly Andheri East).
Mumbai Metro Line 7 Opening and Inauguration
After many revisions in its deadline date, the Mumbai metro line 7 was finally opened for commercial operation on 2nd April 2022 during an auspicious Maharashtrian New Year Day, Gudi Padva. Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray inaugurated the Mumbai Metro lines 2A and 7.
As a part of the Phase 1 plan, the metro stretch covers 20KM (Dhanukarwadi-Dahisar-Aarey). The Metro will run between Dhanukarwadi on Metro Line 2A and Aarey on Line 7. The two metro lines are running parallelly on Western Express Highway and Link road, which helps immensely to reduce road congestion and local train overcrowding on the western route.
However, since both the lines are not fully operational, the congestion on the road and train overcrowding is still present on western lines.
