The Cabinet is expected to receive a proposal aimed at acquiring land in Mogharpada, Thane within a week, for a pivotal car depot to serve the crucial Metro Lines 4 and 4A. These lines connect Central Mumbai with Thane.
This development is of utmost importance since the operationalization of Mumbai Metro 4 (Wadala – Ghatkopar – Thane – Kasarvadavali) and 4A (Kasarvadavali – Gaimukh) hinges on the establishment of the car shed. The depot, spanning 35 hectares, will house stabling lines, a control center, a washing area, and a maintenance yard.
In November 2022, MMRDA initiated a bid to seek infrastructure firms for the car depot construction project. Revised to 35 hectares from the previously proposed 41, the car depot plans encompass 16 stabling lines for 32 six-car trains and five inspection bay lines. SEW Infrastructure and Vishwa Samudra Engineering, in a joint venture, emerged as the lowest bidders by quoting INR 906 crore for the creation of the car depot. The combined length of the two metro lines is 35.20 km, with Metro 4 covering 32.32 km and Metro 4A encompassing 2.88 km.
Having achieved a consensus between the state government and the local community in Mogharpada, situated off Ghodbunder Road, the project is poised to gather momentum toward its completion.
