Line 11 (Mumbai Metro)

History

Green Line Integration

Initially, Line 11 was announced as an extension of the Green Line, with a proposal for 2 elevated stations and 8 underground sections running from Wadala to the CSMT. The Maharashtra government assigned the task of executing the project to MMRDA. However, very early on, the project was transferred from the MMRDA to the MMRCL. This change in implementing agency saw the line being completely reworked. MMRCL announced a new alignment for the line, taking a more central route south of Byculla. The rework saw the line being converted to that of a spur line rather than a natural extension of the Green Line. MMRCL also announced the line would now have 16 stations, of which 15 were underground and 1 was at grade. In addition, the addition of new stations and the extension of the line beyond CSMT and would now terminate at the Gateway of India. Soon, following public consultations the stations at Reay Road and Crawford Market were dropped while several other stations were renamed or moved around. The line construction estimates were also doubled from Rs.8,739 crore to Rs.16,000 crore.

Transition to its own Line

In May 2025, as part of the Dharavi redevelopment project, it was proposed that the northern spur of Line 11 be extended from Anik Nagar Bus Depot to Dharavi via Sion. This proposal was part of the Dharavi redevelopment project, which included efforts to turn Dharavi into a transportation hub in Mumbai. However, following a state government directive in March 2026, MMRCL announced the line would now be an independent line (thus abandoning any correlation with the green line) and would now run from Bandra Terminus to Gateway of India via Dharavi, Wadala Depot, Sewri, and CSMT.
