Mumbai Metro to Lease Stations, Pillars to Boost Non-Fare Revenue

To increase revenue beyond ticketing, the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL) will lease seventy-three thousand square feet across thirty stations on Mumbai’s Metro Lines Two A and Seven. The plan includes commercial use of metro pillars to prevent unauthorised posters and promote regulated advertising.

These corridors, stretching from Andheri (West) to Dahisar and Gundavali, offer untapped space suitable for restaurants, retail outlets and kiosks. Around twelve thousand square feet at Andheri (West) station alone may be used for events and promotional activities. Production shoot rentals and similar opportunities are also under consideration, provided they do not obstruct public movement.

In 2024–25, MMMOCL earned Rs 1.22 billion from non-fare sources—a 186 per cent rise from Rs 425 million in 2023–24. This revenue was generated through activities like retail leasing, advertising inside trains and stations, optical fibre installations, and naming rights.

Metro ridership on these two lines reached 150 million since operations began in April 2022. Fare collection also rose to Rs 1.7 billion from Rs 1.47 billion in the previous year. Officials credit the revenue success to a targeted non-fare strategy and strong government backing.
