🎉Heartiest Congratulations to all the supporters of this campaign! We have won the Phase 1 opening🎉
The first phase of the elevated Metro Line-9 spans 4.7 km and includes four stations: Dahisar East, Pandurangwadi, Miragaon, and Kashigaon.
This new stretch provides seamless connectivity from the Mira Road area to Metro Line-7 at Dahisar East, enabling commuters to travel directly towards Andheri East and further to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport via Line-7A.
The full Metro Line-9 corridor is planned as a 10.5 km elevated route with eight stations up to Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose Garden in Mira Bhayandar.
Phase-1 marks the beginning of significantly improved public transport for the rapidly expanding Mira-Bhayandar belt.
Metro 9 Phase 2 has 96% completion of civil works and targeted to be completed by December 2026.
The timetable
The revised timetable focuses on reducing waiting time and enhancing commuter convenience.
- Peak hour frequency will range from around 5.5 to 6 minutes
- Non-peak frequency will range from 8 to 10 minutes
- More trips will be operated across all corridors
Officials said this will help manage increasing passenger demand and reduce crowding.
Key benefits for commuters
Seamless interchange: Commuters can switch to Metro Line-7 and Line-2A at Dahisar East without exiting the station, making travel to Andheri East and the airport hassle-free.
Traffic relief: The new line is expected to divert 20-30 per cent of road commuters to the metro, reducing congestion at Dahisar Toll Plaza by 10-15 per cent during peak hours.
Time savings: Residents of Kashigaon and nearby areas will enjoy significantly shorter travel times to key hubs, benefiting daily office-goers and students.
Multimodal integration: The metro will integrate smoothly with buses, autorickshaws, and other metro lines, reducing dependence on private vehicles.
Green and passenger-friendly features
The metro line promotes green mobility through electric operations, regenerative braking, energy-efficient station design, and lower carbon emissions. Stations are equipped with lifts, escalators, CCTV surveillance, modern signage, tactile paths, and barrier-free access for inclusive travel.
Officials highlighted that the project will offer safe, comfortable, and faster travel while helping reduce traffic congestion and pollution in the eastern suburbs.
This development is part of the Maharashtra government’s larger infrastructure push to strengthen Mumbai’s suburban connectivity. Commercial operations on the new stretch are expected to begin today (Wednesday, 8-April-2026) after the inauguration.
