1 BHK Properties for Rent in Ghatkopar East Mumbai

The commissioning of Line-I of the Mumbai Metro Project not only eliminated travel woes for Mumbaikars but gave a boost to the property prices in several micro-markets of the city. The elevated corridor connects the locality of Versova in the west to Ghatkopar in the east with a total of 12 stations covering 11.4 kilometre. Here is all you need to know about the Line.

The Indian government, under ‘Act East’ Policy, is developing infrastructure projects in the North Eastern Region (NER) to boost connectivity. It will develop road networks spanning 5,200 kilometres in the North East Region along with National Highway projects and undertake upgradation under the Bharatmala Pariyojana and invest Rs 48,000 crore for building 15 new rail line projects across the state capitals.

Started in 2006, the redevelopment work is far from completion but might get on track as the Bombay High Court has cleared the deck for the construction work to start. The project was in litigation due to a rule imposed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation that the developer must execute a permanent agreement with the old homeowners to get the construction commencement certificate. As the Bombay HC has set aside this condition, the work might begin soon.

The Mumbai Metro has crossed 400-million ridership at a 12-km route between Versova- Andheri- Ghatkopar in a period of four years. Also, it has emerged as the only public transport infrastructure that witnessed an increase in passengers of up to 15 per cent annually. According to the data available with Mumbai Metro One, the network operates with around 378-382 trips on weekdays, with a punctuality performance of 99.9 per cent along what is the world's densest corridor. The route also connects the eastern and western suburbs via Andheri.

The Mumbai Metro Line 7 is a partially elevated corridor spanning a length of 16.5 kilometres with 14 stations from Andheri (East) to Dahisar East. There are plans to extend the corridor, by 9 km, to Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (terminal T2) from Andheri (East), and to Mira Road-Bhayendar from Dahisar. The project is being developed at an estimated cost of Rs 6,208 crore and is expected to be operational by 2019.
