Kanjurmarg-Badlapur Metro: The ambitious and eagerly anticipated Mumbai Metro Line 14 connecting Kanjurmarg and Badlapur is probably going to be created under a Public Private Partnership (PPP), with construction expected to begin within a year.

Senior executives of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) have reportedly stated that the organization is working to begin construction within a year.

Magenta Line:

According to the media sources, the 39-meter-long Line 14, also called the Magenta Line, is anticipated to cut journey times by 1.5 to 2 hours as compared to driving, which would help to relieve traffic on the busy roadways. After the entire route is constructed and put into service, the MMRDA expects the line to see about 7 lakh riders each day. IIT Bombay has accepted the line’s Detailed Project Report (DPR) draft, which was received from Milan Metro. The state has not yet approved the DPR.

Underground Track Updates:
The Magenta Line will eventually feature raised tracks from Ghansoli to Badlapur after having underground tracks from Kanjurarg to Ghansoli. An estimated Rs 18,000 crore will be needed to complete the project. The large-scale project is a component of MMRDA’s plan to increase suburban Metro connectivity.

The proposed line’s passage through the Parsik Hills and the Thane Creek Flamingo Sanctuary is one of the main problems; as a result, the MMRDA will need to obtain a NOC and clearance from the environment and forest ministries.
