Maharashtra CM Flags Off Trial Run on Mumbai Metro Line 4

Maharashtra chief minister Devendra Fadnavis flagged off the first trial run of Mumbai Metro Line 4, marking a significant milestone in the city’s expanding metro network. The corridor, spanning 32.3 km from Wadala to Kasarvadavali, will extend further under Line 4A up to Gaimukh, bringing the total length to 35.1 km with 32 stations.

The initial trial run was carried out on a 4.4 km priority stretch between Gaimukh and Vijay Garden, covering four stations. This section forms part of the first phase of the project, being implemented by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).

Metro Line 4 extends 35.2 km from Wadala to Kasarvadavali, with an estimated cost of Rs 145.49 billion. Line 4A, a 2.88 km extension from Kasarvadavali to Gaimukh, is expected to cost approximately Rs 9.49 billion. Together, these lines will improve mobility across several densely populated areas and offer seamless integration with existing and planned metro lines.

A potential interchange with the proposed Mumbai Metro Line 11 will further connect Wadala to CSMT, creating a unified 58-km elevated corridor — the longest of its kind in India.

Speaking on the occasion, Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde said, “More than 172 years after the inauguration of the railway in Thane, the city is now being served by a modern metro system, which is a historic moment for Thane.” He added that the integrated 58-km corridor would significantly ease traffic congestion and enhance connectivity across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.

The Mumbai Metro Line 4 project aims to provide sustainable, eco-friendly, and efficient transport solutions while reducing road congestion and improving daily commute times for millions of passengers.
