Kalyan MP urges MMRDA to fast-track Kalyan-Taloja Metro-12

Kalyan constituency Member of Parliament Dr Shrikant Shinde met the Commissioner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), S V R Srinivas, and reviewed infrastructure projects for Thane district. He asked the commissioner to fast-track the Metro-12 project from Kalyan to Taloja.

Earlier, Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde, on the insistence of Dr Shrikant Shinde, had instructed the MMRDA to speed up the multi-purpose Metro-12, which is expected to cost Rs 41.32 billion.

Metro work is being carried out between Thane-Bhiwandi and Kalyan in Thane District, and there is a plan to connect this metro line with Taloja and Navi Mumbai. A 20.75 km route has been prepared for Metro-12. Its first station will be near the Agriculture Produce Market Committee (APMC) at Kalyan (West) and the last station will be Taloja. A total of 18 stations are planned on this route. A consultant has been appointed for the project, and the work will begin soon.

"The MMR will develop rapidly when the Kalyan-Taloja metro will start as Kalyan will be directly connected to Navi Mumbai via Metro," said MP Shinde.

A senior official from MMRDA said, "A meeting was held with the Kalyan constituency MP and other officials like Kalyan-Dombivali Municipal Corporation (KDMC) commissioner Dr Bhausaheb Dangade. Shinde reviewed the various infra projects in the Thane district.

The much-awaited Kalyan-Taloja Metro project was reviewed, and soon, the work will be initiated. The total cost of the construction will be Rs 4,132 crore.”
