The approved projects are expected to stimulate economic activity, improve urban mobility, and elevate the overall quality of life in the region. The investment is seen as a strategic move to develop a more integrated and connected transportation network in Maharashtra.

Key approvals include a Rs 47.88 billion contract awarded to Larsen & Toubro for integrated systems on Metro Line 4 and 4A. This package covers rolling stock, signalling, depot equipment, and five years of maintenance. The civil works for Metro Line 4A were revised to Rs 5.57 billion, while L&T also secured a Rs 1.88 billion contract for ballastless trackwork on the same line.

Metro Line 6 saw two major contracts awarded—IRCON International will handle the power supply and E&M systems under a Rs 6.68 billion agreement, and NCC will provide rolling stock and signalling systems at a cost of Rs 22.69 billion.

Further allocations include Rs 5.35 billion for multi-modal integration works on Metro Line 4 and 4A, distributed across four packages and awarded to various joint ventures. Other key contracts comprise Rs 2.49 billion for automatic fare collection (AFC) systems on Metro Line 4 and 4A (Aurionpro Solutions), Rs 1.18 billion for OHE and power distribution on Metro Lines 9 and 7A (Leena Powertech-Umesh Brothers Consortium), and Rs 990.99 million for ballastless track on Metro Line 2B (Paras Railtech). Additionally, the contract cost for ITS and toll management systems under MTHL Package-4 was revised to Rs 5.51 billion.

The investments are part of MMRDA’s broader strategy to deliver a seamless, sustainable, and inclusive metro and transport infrastructure that supports multimodal connectivity across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. The authority remains focused on improving last-mile connectivity, speeding up project timelines, and ensuring commuter-friendly infrastructure.
