What Do You Think Of Mumbai Metro-11 From Anik Depot To Gateway Of India? Tell MMRCL By August 20
Mumbai Metro 11 will have underground stations covering areas such as Wadala Truck Terminal, Sewri, Byculla, Bhendi Bazaar, and Crawford Market, terminating near Gateway of India
The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) has invited suggestions and objections from citizens on the proposed 17.5-km Metro Line-11, which will stretch from Anik Depot to Gateway of India, passing through key locations like Bhendi Bazaar and Nagpada.
The project, financed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), is a key part of Mumbai's expanding metro network and aims to enhance connectivity in the city's eastern and southern corridors.
Metro-11: Anik Depot to Gateway of India
Metro Line-11 will have underground stations covering major areas such as Wadala Truck Terminal, Sewri, Byculla, Bhendi Bazaar, and Crawford Market, terminating near Gateway of India. Only Anik Depot will be at ground level.
Metro Line 11 will link with Metro Line 4 (Wadala-Kasarvadavli), the Aqua Line, the Monorail, and major suburban railway stations like Byculla and CSMT, making it a vital interchange route in the city's public transport network.
The MMRCL published the alignment and environmental and social impact assessment report for the proposed Wadala-Gateway of India underground Metro Line 11. According to the report, over 2,200 trees will either be cut or transplanted, and 796 structures are likely to be impacted by the construction work, affecting a total of 801 families.
As per the social impact assessment report for this proposed metro 11, total permanent land requirement for the project is estimated at 24.65 hectares, including 15.85 hectares for the proposed depot at Anik Bus Depot, which will be developed jointly with the existing bus facility.
While most of the alignment is underground, the project will require land for entry/exit points and ancillary services. Temporary land usage of around 17.44 hectares is also planned during the construction phase. Efforts have been made to minimize displacement and land acquisition, with only 2.3 hectares of private land needed. However, the corridor will affect certain residential and commercial structures, including huts, and may result in relocation.
Compensation will be provided as per the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and in accordance with the MMRC and MUTP resettlement policies the report reads.
How and where to give feedback on Metro-11? What happens after that?
The report has been uploaded on MMRC's official website, and the corporation has invited objections and suggestions from citizens and stakeholders till August 20. This public consultation process is expected to guide final decisions and any possible changes to the project design or route.
Written suggestions or objections can be submitted until 6 PM on August 20, 2025 to the Director (Planning & Real Estate Development), MMRC, at the Bandra-Kurla Complex or via email.
A public hearing will be held following the consultation period, with details to be announced through newspapers.

Namma Yatri Launches ‘Namma Transit': Bengaluru's Leap into Building the Future of Mobility Together
Bengaluru Namma Yatri today launched Namma Transit- a transformative feature in its app that reimagines public mobility by making the entire Metro-plus-first-and- last-mile experience seamless, intelligent, and deeply commuter-centric. More than just connecting rides, Namma Transit offers a fully integrated journey- guiding users at every step, in real time, from their doorstep to destination. With Namma Transit, the Namma Yatri app becomes your personal transit assistant. It shows which Metro station to head to, which platform and gate to use, when to switch modes, and tracks both Metro and auto in real time. Whether it's a countdown for the next train, directions on station exits, or smart nudges to alight at the right stop, the entire journey is in the commuter's control. The result is not just smoother travel - it's faster, more affordable, and greener. At the heart of this innovation is a simple belief: public transport shouldn't feel like a compromise - it should feel like an upgrade. By unifying Metro, auto, and cabs into one app experience, Namma Transit makes Bengaluru's infrastructure accessible, intuitive, and enjoyable for all. Ravishankar J, Managing Director of Namma Metro, set the tone with a powerful vision: 'The Metro's duty is bigger than steel and track. It is to gift every Bengalurean an hour back each day. Our expansion will deliver that promise.' This collaborative, open mobility future envisaged by Beckn open protocol and made possible by the ONDC open network, signals a new era where public infrastructure and citizen-facing technology come together to serve people better. The event was graced by Shri Tejasvi Surya, MP, Bengaluru South, who shared a passionate call to action: 'Namma Bengaluru wins when public transport beats private habit. Let's expand the Metro, electrify every feeder, and prove that Namma Bengaluru can outrun its traffic tales.' Speaking on the occasion, the founders of Namma Yatri, Magizhan and Shan, summed it up with conviction: 'Mobility should feel like magic, not a daily grind. With Namma Transit, we've designed every element, from booking to alerts - to make public transport the first choice. This is our contribution to a Bengaluru that moves with speed, efficiency, and trust.'

Metro Line 3 trial run conducted on 4km stretch; 88% of work completed
1 2 P une: A second trial run of the Metro Line 3 project, connecting Hinjewadi IT Park with Shivajinagar, was conducted recently on a 4km stretch between Maan Depot and station PMR04. The trial, conducted earlier this week, was carried out at a speed of 40 kmph to test the track and system readiness, said Metro officials. The previous trial run was conducted early this month. "We have achieved 88% progress in project completion and will continue with more trial runs along the stretch," said a senior PMRDA official. Officials said the trial run is part of a series of tests planned in the run-up to the commissioning and marks a major step toward operational readiness.

The project's appointed date was Nov 25, 2021, with the commercial operation date (COD) being March 2026. "We are speeding up work on the entire stretch with trial runs and more coaches are expected to arrive soon,'' said the official. Once operational, Metro Line 3 will feature 23 stations and offer seamless connectivity with existing Metro lines, aiming to ease traffic congestion and improve urban mobility along the city's bustling IT corridor, added officials. Five modern train sets, manufactured by Alstom, have arrived in Pune. Each set comprises three fully air-conditioned coaches with a total capacity of around 1,000 passengers. The trains can run at speeds of up to 80 kmph and operate on a 750V DC third-rail electrification system, ensuring smooth and energy-efficient transit, said the official. The corridor would be operated using CBTC (communication-based train control) signalling technology, known for enhancing safety, reliability, and frequency of Metro services, added officials.
