MUMBAI (Metro Rail News): The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is targeting the opening of more stations on Metro Line 9 and Metro Line 2B by the end of the year, adding four stations in Mira-Bhayandar and extending service on the eastern suburbs corridor.
Line 9 Phase 2: Four Stations
The second phase of Line 9, from Kashigaon to Subhash Chandra Bose Stadium, will add four stations: Sai Baba Nagar, Meditya Nagar, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Garden and Subhash Chandra Bose Stadium. MMRDA has said civil works on the extension are 96 per cent complete, and the stretch is expected to be completed in December, according to reports citing the Times of India. It is expected to benefit commuters in Mira-Bhayandar.
The first phase of Line 9, a stretch of about 5 km with four stations from Dahisar East to Kashigaon, opened to passengers in April 2026. Line 9 extends Metro Line 7, which runs from Dahisar East to Gundavali in Andheri East, giving Mira-Bhayandar a direct metro link to the western suburbs.
Line 2B: Next Phase After Chembur-Mandale
Line 2B will eventually connect DN Nagar in Andheri West with Mandale in the eastern suburbs. Its first stretch of about 5 km, between Chembur and Mandale, opened in April 2026. The next phase will bring more stations into service, though MMRDA has not yet named them or set a date.
