More About This Proposed Plan
The meeting for this subway project took place on July 28, 2025. As per Mid Day, senior officials from the Urban Development Department, Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation and MMRCL attended the meeting.
Apart from this, other underground pedestrian subways are also planned. In July 2025, the BMC met with MMRCL to discuss better pedestrian connectivity around Metro stations. As per the proposal, authorities are planning eight underground walkways linked to the Metro-3 line. Four are planned in Worli, three in BKC, and one in Andheri MIDC.
With MMRCL set to execute these projects, Mumbai’s underground pedestrian network could soon get a major boost. The idea is to make walking to and from Metro stations easier and more convenient.
