Mumbai Metro Lines Four and Four A Set For Trial Runs Soon

23 May 2025 CW Team

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is preparing to launch trial runs on a key 10-kilometre stretch spanning ten stations from Cadbury to Gaimukh on Metro Lines Four and Four A. These stations include Cadbury, Majiwada, Kapurbawadi, Manpada, Tikuji Ni Wadi, Dongripada, Vijay Garden, Kasarvadavli, Gownipada, and Gaimukh.

While the designated depot for Metro Lines Four and Four A is still under construction, the MMRDA has devised an interim plan involving inspection pits beyond the Gaimukh terminal to facilitate early testing.

Metro Line Four, which stretches 32.32 kilometres from Wadala to Kasarvadavali, is entirely elevated and includes 30 stations. It will connect seamlessly with major transport routes such as the Eastern Express Highway, Central Railway, Mono Rail, and future metro lines including Two B, Five, and Six. The line aims to reduce commute times by fifty to seventy-five per cent.

Metro Line Four A is a 2.7-kilometre extension from Kasarvadavali to Gaimukh, adding two stations and expanding metro access into the Thane region.

The MMRDA’s initiative to begin trials marks a major step towards improving Mumbai’s transit infrastructure and easing traffic congestion.
