What Do You Think Of Mumbai Metro-11 From Anik Depot To Gateway Of India? Tell MMRCL By August 20
Last Updated: 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. view comments Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Metro, rail and bus hubs in MMRDA's plan for Dharavi
Mumbai: Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) was appointed as the nodal agency to plan and develop a Multimodal Transport Hub (MMTH) as part of Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP).

Masterplan proposes 5-min access to essential amenities
Mumbai: The Dharavi Redevelopment plan proposes easy access to essential public amenities such as education, healthcare, retail markets and open spaces within 5, 10 and 15-minute walking distances. Today a slum spread over 2.5 sq kms, the masterplan proposes that more than 80% of Dharavi will be within 5 minutes from a transit station, that more than 80% neighbourhoods will be within 5 minutes of a public open space, that more than 70% neighbourhoods will be within a five-minute walk to social amenities. In a presentation to chief minister Devendra Fadnavis on Wednesday, Dharavi Redevelopment Project CEO and chairman of Navbharat Mega Developers Pvt Ltd S V R Srinivas put forth a blueprint for a multi-modal transit hub with Metro Lines 3 and 11 passing through the area with strengthened pedestrian and vehicular connections from Dharavi to surrounding neighbourhoods. Five new transit points are to be created connecting T K Marg to the arterial 90-feet road by an underpass; a new road is to be developed connecting to S B Marg; the Dharavi Depot road will connect to Chunabhatti-BKC Link road; another connector will come up along the Western Railway line to Mahim Sion flyover; an underpass below the Harbour line near Mahim will connect to S B Marg; and another underpass to Sion. A plan to redevelop Mahim and Sion railway stations with concourse levels plus bus bays and taxi parking points was also presented.

According to Dharavi's 2016 Development Plan, there are 26 schools here which are run in temporary slum structures; only the Kamraj school in sector 3 is in a legal structure. "Students are crammed in small rooms with inadequate space and no playground facilities," states the report. The master plan proposes primary as well as secondary schools along with a community hall and library. A multi-speciality hospital will soon co-exist with an existing branch of the civic-run Sion hospital. —Clara Lewis

Dharavi to be a major Metro interchange with 2nd station
Mumbai: Dharavi, already part of the Metro network via the under-construction Metro Line 3 (Colaba-BKC-Aarey), may soon see the addition of a second Metro station. As part of the Dharavi Redevelopment Project (DRP), plans are being drawn up to extend Metro Line 11 (Wadala-CSMT) into Dharavi, setting the stage for a significant Metro interchange that could enhance east-west and north-south connectivity across Mumbai. The extension to Dharavi will have two stations, including one at Sion. Sources said Metro Line 11 is likely to be extended westward from Wadala to connect with the existing Metro Line 3 station in Dharavi. Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL), which is executing the Metro 3 project, has also been appointed to construct Metro Line 11, running from Wadala to Hutatma Chowk via Byculla. The project, estimated to cost Rs 16,000 crore, is currently in the planning phase. "For years, Dharavi has lacked proper connectivity. A Metro hub here means better access to jobs, colleges, and hospitals across the city," said Fatima Khan, a long-time Dharavi resident. As a Metro interchange hub, Dharavi will serve as a central mobility hub for the city. "There is a proposal to build a Dharavi Central Metro station, which could become the main interchange point for commuters from all directions," said a source involved with the project. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 허리 아플 때마다 파스만 붙이셨다면? 하루 3번, 붙이기만 해도 시원해집니다! pt 더 알아보기 Undo "The station is being designed as a multi-level structure that connects the city's north-south and east-west corridors." The interchange will allow commuters from the eastern suburbs to switch to Metro Line 3, enabling smooth access to BKC and the airport without relying on road transport, the source said, adding that this will drastically cut travel time and ease congestion on road corridors. "If this interchange comes up, I can get from Sion to BKC or the airport without changing multiple modes. It's going to save so much time," said Ravindra Patil, an office-goer from Chunabhatti. Planners also aim to integrate feeder bus routes and infrastructure for walking and cycling to improve last-mile connectivity. "It's more than just a Metro station," the official added. "The goal is to build a future-ready mobility hub that brings Metro, rail, buses, and non-motorised transport under one roof." To support this, feeder routes are also being planned, connecting local neighbourhoods with Metro and train stations.
