Mumbai Metro is expanding, giving commuters a convenient travel option across the city. While new routes are being introduced, work on some corridors has been stuck for years. Work on Orange Line 5 is moving quickly; however, Green Line 4 and Pink Line 6 continue to face delays. Scroll down to know why!
Why Are Mumbai Metro Lines 4 & 6 Facing Delays?
The work on Mumbai Metro Green Line 4 and Pink Line 6 has been delayed for over eight years. Not one, but several factors are behind these delays. According to Mid Day, these include land acquisition issues, incomplete stations, depot-related complications and repeated deadline extensions. These two elevated corridors are important to improve connectivity. Together, these two lines have 43 stations and are worth ₹21,265 crore.
How Much Work Is Completed On Green Line 4?
According to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority’s (MMRDA) report dated August 31, 2026, Green Line 4 had completed:
- 95% of pier construction
- 94% of U-girder work
- 92% of deck-slab work.
But there is still some work pending. This project faced land acquisition issues in Vikhroli East. However, after years of legal proceedings, the Metro authorities finally received possession of the 16,762-square-metre Laxmi Nagar plot in March 2026, which cost ₹164.31 crore.

What Challenges Is Mumbai Metro Line 6 Facing?
The work on Pink Line 6 hasn’t been easy. As per Mid Day report, it faced challenges at Shyam Nagar station, the JVLR-Eastern Express Highway junction and Kanjurmarg depot. On September 29, 2026, the Supreme Court dismissed the developer’s appeal over the 15-hectare depot land. We hope the work on this line gets completed soon and passengers can finally travel smoothly.
Amid the incomplete work, the Metro authorities have started trial runs on the northern Green Line 4/4A route.
How Many Passengers Will Both Lines Carry?
Once both Green Line 4 and Pink Line 6 are operational, they are expected to see approximately 12.13 lakh and 7.69 lakh daily passengers, respectively, by 2031.
