According to officials, the 15.31-km long Mumbai Metro Line 6 is 66% finished and will soon provide suburban commuters with another essential east-west link. SVR Srinivas, Commissioner of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority, stated that more than 50% of the civil work on Line 6 metro stations has been completed. The route that will connect Swami Samarth Nagar to Vikhroli on the Eastern Express Highway through Jogeshwari, Western Express Highway, and Powai also has 71% of its viaduct work finished.

According to Srinivas, the majority of the line will pass through the Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road, an elevated corridor that will link the EEH and WEH national roads as well as the east-west and north- south regions. With 13 stops, Line 6 will be integrated with the current Mumbai Metro Lines 2A, 3, 4 and 7, the Jogeshwari and Kanjurmarg suburban railway stations, and the city's significant geographic, commercial, and governmental sectors.

The construction of Line 6 will cost approximately Rs 67 billion and is scheduled to be finished in the next couple of years. It is anticipated that it will reduce travel time between EEH and WEH by up to 45 minutes. To provide alternative transportation options, a combined 2.58-km long road flyover project will be built below this line at a common pier in the road media, according to Srinivas. This project's completion will coincide with the building of the Mumbai Metro depot.

While decongesting traffic on the roadways and resulting in time and fuel savings, the expanded phases of Lines 2A and 7 on the WEH and Link Road, which opened in January, have proven to be a godsend for suburban commuters.
