Mumbai Metro lines get green light for full-speed operations

Mumbai Metro lines 2A and 7 have received approval for full-speed operations from the Chief Commissioner of Rail Safety (CCRS), more than 18 months after their inauguration. The Yellow Line (Metro 2A) spans 18.6 kilometres between Dahisar East and Andheri West, serving 17 stations. The Red Line (Metro 7) covers 16.5 kilometres from Dahisar East to Gundavali with 13 stations.

Together, these lines serve more than 250,000 daily passengers and have recorded a cumulative ridership exceeding ₹15 crore since partial operations began in April 2022. Both lines are managed by the Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corporation Limited (MMMOCL), a subsidiary of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA).
