Metro Line 2B Puts Chembur on Track for Rapid Growth

Chembur, once seen as Mumbai’s eastern fringe, is set for a dramatic rise as Metro Line 2B—from DN Nagar to Mandale—nears completion. The 23.6-kilometre corridor, part of the wider Dahisar–Mandale network, will host 20 stations that knit together east–west and north–south routes. Combined with the Eastern Freeway, Santacruz-Chembur Link Road, Monorail, Eastern Express Highway, BKC Connector and other upcoming metro links, the line cements Chembur’s standing as a mobility-rich hub with swift access to commercial centres such as BKC, Lower Parel and Andheri.
Enhanced connectivity is already lifting demand among professionals, young families and investors; average home prices have climbed by about eight per cent in the past year. Developers are responding with contemporary, amenity-laden schemes. Among them, Chandak Highscape City—minutes from future metro stations—aims to capture buyers seeking smart location, lifestyle perks and long-term value. A Chandak Group spokesperson notes that Metro 2B will be a catalyst for “accelerated growth”, with market analysts forecasting a further fifteen–twenty per cent rise in property values once the first phase opens.
Historically, metro corridors have driven sharp capital appreciation across Mumbai, and experts now regard Chembur as a self-sustaining, aspirational address rather than a spill-over zone. As more infrastructure projects come online and well-planned residential complexes multiply, the suburb offers both immediate liveability and enduring investment potential—positioning it alongside the city’s established prime neighbourhoods.
