The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), has roped in RITES to study the feasibility of extending the Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd metro to Dahisar.
MMRDA had earlier envisaged Charkop to Dahisar as a separate corridor, but now it is planning to combine it with the 33.5 km Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd metro. If extended to Dahisar, the entire corridor will be about 40 km in length.
RITES will complete the study period within five to six months.
The 32 km Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd metro was originally planned as the second metro corridor after the under-construction Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar metro. The elevated corridor was to be constructed on a public private partnership basis by Reliance Infrastructure-led Mumbai Metro Transport (MMTPL).
