The Cabinet has given its nod to a 29-km circular metro line in Thane city. The project to be executed by the Thane Municipal Corporation has been allocated a budget of 12,200 crore.
In a major infrastructure boost to India’s financial capital Mumbai, the city is slated to be equipped with two new metro corridors. This comes as part of a massive infrastructure push for which the Maharashtra cabinet gave its nod recently. In a significant decision, the state gave its go-ahead to a budgetary outlay of Rs 23,487 crore aimed at developing Metro Line-11, running from Wadala to the Gateway of India. Along with this, the plan also includes a 29-km circular metro for Thane. Additionally, a slew of other projects, including the Pune–Lonavala suburban rail expansion and a 25-km elevated road running between Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) and Thane, have been approved.
