Mumbai Metro III

The proposed Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-III corridor will have stations at Sahar Road, Santacruz and Terminal 2 to provide easy access to the airports.
A memorandum of understanding was signed between the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) and the Mumbai International airport Limited (MIAL) for participation and contribution of Rs.777 crore by the latter towards construction and operation of stations at Sahar Road, and domestic and international airports along the Metro-III corridor.
“Metro-III will provide connectivity to major hotspots of the city, including the international airport, and will pass through Sahar Ro ad, the domestic airport and T2,“ said an MMRDA spokesperson. MIAL will also provide land required for the construction to MMRC and co-ordinate activities during the construction and operation of the stations. The Metro-III corridor may be extended up to Kanjurmarg as the depot at Aarey Colony is being opposed due to environmental concerns.
