Maharashtra's government has approved a ₹8,535.49 crore project for Mumbai Metro Line 10, connecting Gaimukh to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk in Mira Road. The 9.676 km line will feature five elevated stations and an elevated 0.68 km stretch, replacing the previous underground section to minimize tree removal and expedite construction.
The Metro component alone will cost ₹7,813.35 crore. Additionally, the government has approved ₹715.96 crore for widening Ghodbunder Road to 60 metres, addressing anticipated traffic congestion during Metro construction. The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) will implement the project, with the state government contributing ₹1,004.23 crore as interest-free subordinate debt for land acquisition, state taxes, and 50% of Central government taxes.
An additional ₹109.21 crore will cover taxes from the Ghodbunder Road widening. The project is planned for a five-year implementation period from April 2025 to March 2030, requiring 3.73 hectares of land permanently and 4.40 hectares temporarily. MMRDA will manage TOD for the Metro corridor and commercial development of land near Metro stations, subject to applicable rules.
