- Wadala-GhatkopaThane (Teen Haath Naka) is extended upto Kasarwadavli and reconfigured as Line-4 Wadala-Ghatkopar-Thane (Teen Haath Naka) - Kasarwadavli (32km).
The main objective of the Master Plan is to provide accessibility to rail based system within 0.5 km to 1 km. The metro system provides connectivity to connect important stations like Churchgate, Chatrapati Shivaji terminus, Mumbai Centra and International & Domestic Airports and major business hubs. These corridors are having planned interchanges with Suburban Stations.
After implementation of Mumbai Metro Master Plan, more than 70 lakh commuters are expected to get benefit which in turn will substantially reduce the traffic on road and congestion in suburban rails.
