The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) may be given the responsibility of constructing the proposed underground project of Metro Line 11 from Wadala to CSMT (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus) as per reports. Earlier, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) was supposed to carry out the Metro Line 11 work. However, as per officials, the State Government has decided to transfer the project to the MMRC from the MMRDA since the corporation is already constructing the underground Mumbai Metro Line 3, passing from Colaba to SEEPZ via Andheri.
Metro Line 11 will pass through Mumbai Port Trust land and considering the importance of land value, the proposed line was decided to be taken underground. As per the MMRDA’s plan, Line 11 would have been part-underground and part-elevated.
