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.
