Maharashtra Clears Rs 750 Billion Urban Infra Projects

The Maharashtra Cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, has cleared infrastructure projects worth Rs 750 billion (Rs 75,000 crore) across Mumbai, Thane, Navi Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur, including the ambitious Mumbai Metro Line-11 linking Wadala to Gateway of India, at an estimated cost of Rs 240 billion (Rs 24,000 crore).

Mumbai Metro Line-11: Wadala to Gateway of India
The 17.5-km underground corridor will extend the existing Line-4 (Wadala–Thane–Kasarvadavli) and feature 14 stations, 13 of them underground. Designed to run six-car trains at 80 kmph with a 2.5-minute headway, the line is expected to serve 5.8 lakh daily riders by 2031, rising to 10 lakh by 2055. The project requires 104 acres, including 56 acres of permanent acquisition.

A car depot will be developed at Anik–Pratiksha Nagar on 39 acres of BEST land, integrating bus operations. Funding support includes JICA loans, Rs 31.4 billion equity, and Rs 9.17 billion in subordinate debt from the Centre.

238 AC Locals & MUTP-3B Expansion
The cabinet sanctioned the purchase of 238 air-conditioned suburban trains under MUTP-3 and MUTP-3A for Rs 48.3 billion, equally shared by the Centre and state.

Under MUTP-3B, 136.6 km of new rail corridors worth Rs 149 billion were approved, including:
  • Badlapur–Karjat 3rd & 4th lines (32.46 km)
  • Asangaon–Kasara 4th line (34.97 km)
