Metro Trial Runs to Begin Connecting Andheri and Mira Road

Mumbai Metro Line nine is set to begin trial runs this week, marking a significant step in expanding the city’s metro infrastructure. The energisation of overhead traction wires has been completed, preparing the line for dynamic testing of train movement, signalling, safety, and communications ahead of its expected launch in the coming months.

The line stretches 13.581 kilometres, linking Dahisar East to Mira-Bhayandar with ten stations, combining elevated and underground sections. It serves Mumbai’s densely populated western suburbs, providing vital connectivity between Andheri and Mira Road.

Once operational, Metro Line nine is expected to cut travel times by up to seventy-five per cent, reduce road congestion, and encourage sustainable travel options. The line will integrate with key transport networks such as the Western Express Highway, Western Railway, and other metro lines, including Lines 2A and seven.

The MMRDA has advised residents to avoid the Metro nine corridor during testing due to high-voltage overhead wires. Initial operational phases will include four stations, with remaining stations opening subsequently. The project aligns with Mumbai’s vision for eco-friendly and inclusive urban mobility.
