MMRDA Acquires Land for Metro Depot at Mogarpada

As per a post on its official handle on X, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has completed the acquisition of 174.01 hectares of land at Mogarpada in Thane Taluka. A state-of-the-art, integrated Metro Car Depot will be developed at this site to serve as the central hub for operations and maintenance of Metro Lines 4, 4A, 10 and 11, which together span 55.99 km, connecting CSMT to Mira Road. 

The upcoming depot is designed to support efficient and high-volume metro operations and will include the following infrastructure: 
  • 10 workshop tracks for major maintenance 
  • 10 observation tracks for regular inspections 
  • 64 stabling tracks for overnight train parking 
  • Under-floor wheel lathe for wheel profiling 
  • Automatic high-capacity wash system for train cleaning 
  • Blow-down plant to remove dust from underframe and rooftop gear 
  • CMV workshop for catenary vehicle maintenance 
  • A Depot Control Centre (DCC) and training room 
  • Residential facilities for essential depot staff 
Transformative benefits expected 
Once Metro Lines 4 and 4A become operational, the region is expected to see several major improvements: 

  • Up to 50 per cent reduction in travel time 
  • An estimated 1.2 million daily metro commuters 
  • Metro access to previously underserved areas 
  • Reduced traffic congestion and air pollution 
  • Catalysed development in eastern suburbs and Thane 
The Mogarpada depot marks a critical step in scaling up metro infrastructure to meet the mobility demands of the rapidly growing Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
