What Do You Think Of Mumbai Metro-11 From Anik Depot To Gateway Of India? Tell MMRCL By August 20
Mumbai Metro 11 will have underground stations covering areas such as Wadala Truck Terminal, Sewri, Byculla, Bhendi Bazaar, and Crawford Market, terminating near Gateway of India
The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) has invited suggestions and objections from citizens on the proposed 17.5-km Metro Line-11, which will stretch from Anik Depot to Gateway of India, passing through key locations like Bhendi Bazaar and Nagpada.
The project, financed by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA), is a key part of Mumbai's expanding metro network and aims to enhance connectivity in the city's eastern and southern corridors.
Metro-11: Anik Depot to Gateway of India
Metro Line-11 will have underground stations covering major areas such as Wadala Truck Terminal, Sewri, Byculla, Bhendi Bazaar, and Crawford Market, terminating near Gateway of India. Only Anik Depot will be at ground level.
Metro Line 11 will link with Metro Line 4 (Wadala-Kasarvadavli), the Aqua Line, the Monorail, and major suburban railway stations like Byculla and CSMT, making it a vital interchange route in the city's public transport network.
The MMRCL published the alignment and environmental and social impact assessment report for the proposed Wadala-Gateway of India underground Metro Line 11. According to the report, over 2,200 trees will either be cut or transplanted, and 796 structures are likely to be impacted by the construction work, affecting a total of 801 families.
As per the social impact assessment report for this proposed metro 11, total permanent land requirement for the project is estimated at 24.65 hectares, including 15.85 hectares for the proposed depot at Anik Bus Depot, which will be developed jointly with the existing bus facility.
While most of the alignment is underground, the project will require land for entry/exit points and ancillary services. Temporary land usage of around 17.44 hectares is also planned during the construction phase. Efforts have been made to minimize displacement and land acquisition, with only 2.3 hectares of private land needed. However, the corridor will affect certain residential and commercial structures, including huts, and may result in relocation.
Compensation will be provided as per the Right to Fair Compensation and Transparency in Land Acquisition, Rehabilitation and Resettlement Act, 2013, and in accordance with the MMRC and MUTP resettlement policies the report reads.
How and where to give feedback on Metro-11? What happens after that?
The report has been uploaded on MMRC's official website, and the corporation has invited objections and suggestions from citizens and stakeholders till August 20. This public consultation process is expected to guide final decisions and any possible changes to the project design or route.
Written suggestions or objections can be submitted until 6 PM on August 20, 2025 to the Director (Planning & Real Estate Development), MMRC, at the Bandra-Kurla Complex or via email.
A public hearing will be held following the consultation period, with details to be announced through newspapers.

Trump administration's tariff powers face backlash in US court of appeals
Appellate court judges on Thursday expressed their criticism over President Donald Trump's legal rationale for his most expansive round of tariffs as judges examined if the president had exceeded his authority just hours before the newest extensive set of duties is about to IS THE CONFLICT ABOUT? The eleven-member panel of judges of the US Court of appeals for the federal circuit in Washington were not convinced of Trump administration's assertion that the president could impose further tariffs without a formal congressional approval and that it deteriorated the invocation of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to do Circuit judge Jimmy Reyna said that the "IEEPA doesn't even mention the word tariff anywhere. He stated the same as a sign of non-belief towards arguments posited by a government attorney as reported by Associated Press. The attorney representing the Trump administration, Brett Schumate, acknowledged in the 99-minute hearing 'no president has ever read IEEPA this way' but posited a contention that it was nonetheless appellate judges questioned that contention with Schumate, asking whether the law extended to the domain of tariffs at all and, if it did so, whether the levies matched the threat the administration recognised.'If the president says there's a problem with our military readiness,' Chief Circuit Judge Kimberly Moore posited, 'and he puts a 20% tax on coffee, that doesn't seem to necessarily deal with it.'Schumate defended his stance by stating that the Congress' passage of IEEPA gave the president a power which is 'broad and flexible" to respond to an emergency, but that 'the president is not asking for unbounded authority.'ALL ABOUT THE LAWThe 1977 law, signed by former President Jimmy Carter grants the president the power to size assets and enable a blockage of transactions during the period of a national emergency. The law was first exercised during the Iran hostage crisis and has since been invoked for a range of global unrest, from the 9/11 attacks to the Syrian civil this, Trump has reportedly mentioned that the country's trade deficit is so serious that it qualifies for the protection of the attorney for the plaintiffs, Neal Katyal, characterised Trump's manoeuvre as a 'breathtaking' power grab that amounted to saying 'the president can do whatever he wants, whenever he wants, for as long as he wants so long as he declares an emergency.'No ruling was issued by the bench. Regardless of what decision the judges' deliberations bring, the case is widely expected to reach the U.S. Supreme weighed in on the case on his Truth Social platform, posting: "To all of my great lawyers who have fought so hard to save our Country, good luck in America's big case today. If our Country was not able to protect itself by using TARIFFS AGAINST TARIFFS, WE WOULD BE 'DEAD,' WITH NO CHANCE OF SURVIVAL OR SUCCESS. Thank you for your attention to this matter!'' Trump's comments on the ongoing case In the ongoing case, the Trump administration asserts that 'a national emergency exists' necessitating its current course of trade policy. A three-judge panel of the US Court of International Trade, a specialised federal court in New York, was unconvinced, however, and ruled on the 28th of May that Trump had exceeded his powers of issue now rests with the appeals judges. The challenge strikes at just one batch of import taxes from an administration that has unleashed a bevy of them and could be poised to unveil more on HISTORY AND TARIFFS The case centres on Trump's so-called Liberation Day tariffs of April 2 that imposed new levies on nearly every country. But it doesn't cover other tariffs, including those on auto, aluminium and foreign steel nor ones imposed on China during Trump's first term, and continued by President Joe case is one of at least seven lawsuits charging that Trump overexercised his authority through the use of tariffs on other countries.

Buldi-Koradi Metro Plan Triggers Real Estate Buzz
Nagpur: Even before the blueprint is ready, the proposed Sitabuldi to Koradi Metro corridor — part of Metro Phase 3 expansion — has triggered a flurry of discussions across Nagpur. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now From real estate circles to residential localities along the stretch, speculations around station placement, construction format, and the impact on property values are gaining momentum. Construction alignment is one of the most hotly discussed topic. Senior Metro officials clarified that underground construction will only be chosen when absolutely unavoidable due to significantly higher costs. However, the first 3km of the corridor — beginning from Kasturchand Park — may need to go underground due to existing flyovers and dense urban infrastructure. After that, the line is likely to shift to at-grade and then elevated formats, said a senior official. The 11.5km corridor is one of the four high-capacity MRTS corridors proposed under the Comprehensive Mobility Plan (CMP) prepared by MahaMetro in collaboration with RITES. According to sources, Metro guidelines mandate one station approximately every 1 to 1.5km, which means around 10 stations are likely along this stretch — though exact locations will depend on population density and land availability. After studying Metro DPRs and consulting officials, the estimated cost for Phase 3 is around Rs300 crore per kilometre, bringing the total projected expenditure to approximately Rs3,500 crore. Currently, ridership projections suggest the corridor will cater to 5,600 passengers per hour per direction (PHPDT) in 2031, increasing to 11,800 PHPDT by 2054. Daily ridership is expected to grow from 0.65 lakh in 2031 to 1.47 lakh by 2054 — indicating the strategic importance of this corridor in connecting key northern residential zones to the city centre. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now While no Detailed Project Report (DPR) has been prepared yet, officials confirmed that the proposal is under review, with a 15-day window given for stakeholder suggestions. Only after this period will the tendering process begin for the preparation of a DPR. The Metro expansion has triggered renewed interest in the real estate market along the corridor. Residents are curious about whether a station will be located near their neighbourhood, and how it might affect property prices. Developers are also eyeing opportunities for transit-oriented development (TOD), which typically leads to densification, commercial growth, and better urban infrastructure. Though the buzz is high, authorities caution that no final decisions have been made. The current phase involves gathering inputs from multiple stakeholders — including urban planners, local bodies, and citizens. Only after this will a DPR be commissioned, which will determine the final route, construction plan, and station locations. For now, the Sitabuldi–Koradi Metro remains one of the city's most anticipated urban mobility developments — one that could reshape Nagpur's northern growth corridor in the years to come.
