Mumbai Metro Expansion Plans for 2026
In 2026, Mumbai is planning to open several new metro lines and complete a missing link on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway.
Line 9 Phase 1 will connect Mira Bhayandar to Dahisar East, Line 2B will run from DN Nagar to Mankhurd, and Lines 4 & 4A will connect Mumbai to Thane.
Line 6 will run along the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road.
The missing link on the Mumbai-Pune Expressway will reduce travel time by 30 minutes.
These projects aim to improve public transport and make commuting easier for people in Mumbai and the surrounding areas.
Line 9 Phase 1 will open four stations from Dahisar East to Kashigaon, connecting Mira Bhayandar to the metro network.
Line 2B, stretching 23.6 km from DN Nagar to Mankhurd, will enhance east-west connectivity in Mumbai.
Lines 4 & 4A will open a 10.5 km stretch from Cadbury Junction to Gaimukh, connecting Mumbai to Thane.
Line 6, a 15.3 km line along the Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road, will feature unique design elements and high pillars.
