The 32.3 km corridor, built at an estimated cost of INR 14,500 crore, is seen as a major step in improving the city's public transport network and easing congestion on roads. The line, which has 32 stations, is expected to significantly reduce travel time between south-central Mumbai and Thane. This is particularly relevant as the project's original deadline was 2024, indicating that the new timeline meets a revised schedule.
The elevated corridor will have interchanges with Metro 2B, Metro 5, and Metro 6, which will help improve connectivity across the city's entire metro network. The line is being developed in three phases, with the first phase, between Wadala and Ghatkopar, being the one that will be ready for trial runs in September. Officials said that construction is in the final stages, with track laying and system integration currently underway. Once fully operational, Metro Line 4 is expected to carry over 8 lakh passengers daily.
