On April 6, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) granted NCC Ltd. an undisclosed contract for 5.868 km of pending work on Mumbai Metro's Line-2B (Yellow line) between MTNL and Chembur stations with a bid amount being significantly higher (24.45%) than MMRDA's estimate of Rs. 635.71 crore.
