P.M. Narendra Modi to commisssion Mumbai Metro 2A
and 7 lines and Navi Mumbai Metro on 19 Jan

The much awaited roll out of Mumbai Metro lines 2A and 7
Dahisar-D.N Nagar and Dahisar Andheri East finally comes up.

It is learnt that PM Modi on his visit to Mumbai will commission the 35-km stretch of Mumbai Metro’s 2A and 7 lines
and 5.96-km stretch Navi Mumbai Metro lines between
Central Park and Belapur stations on 19 January.

Reportedly, Maha CM Eknath Shinde and Deputy CM Devendra Fadnavis who are set to visit Davos to attend World Economic Forum between January 15 and 19, may change their plan or return early to be present for the Inauguration of the Metro Lines. It is also learnt that Davos visit is expected to bring investment opportunities for Maharashtra.

Both these Metro lines pass through Link Road and Western Express Highway (WEH) and are expected to reduce traffic from these major roads as well as help reduce crowding in existing suburban local train services.

Earlier in April 2022, then Maharashtra Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray flagged off the first phase of the 2A and 7 lines, the 20-km stretch from Dhanukarwadi (Kamran Nagar) to Aarey Colony in the western suburbs of Mumbai.
