 RailEnquiry Admin | Mumbai Metro projects are being cleared quickly to put off city roads pressure on 29 September, 2016 - 11:31 AM | |
In a bid to take pressure off Mumbai city roads, BJP-led government is showing some intent and clearing metro projects quickly. Two more rail corridors connecting DN Nagar to Mandale via Bandra and the other connecting Wadala to Kasarvadavli through Ghatkopar and Mulund in Thane got government nod. Rs. 10,986 crore investment is being done for the 23.5km long Dahisar to DN Nagar, while the other 32km long corridor named as Metro 4 will cost 14,549 crore rupees. MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority) will soon implement agencies for both the projects. Work is already begun on Dahisar to DN Nagar and Dahisar East to Andheri East while remaining corridors may take another two months time to start. Once the projects will be completed, MMRDA will have full authority to decide price of tickets. As per the current approved fare structure a minimum 10rupee ticket is the least you pay to cover first three kms and if you want to cover a distance of more than 42kms you need to pay as much 80-rupees. The total length of Metro rail connectivity in Mumbai is 172km and till date 124km has been approved. | ||
