This package is expected to cost INR 7388 million and take 30 months to complete. This 20.75-kilometer corridor that will be a part of the orange line will create a metro rail network outside of Greater Mumbai in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Although these extended Mumbai suburbs have seen an increase in population, commerce, and capital resources, they do not yet have adequate public transportation systems to meet the demand for transportation between the region and the mainland.
