Trial runs begin on Mumbai Metro Line 9, linking city with Mira-Bhayandar, ET Infra
Advt Advt Trial runs on Phase I of Metro Line 9 - the elevated stretch between Dahisar East and Kashigaon in Mira-Bhayandar - are set to commence as the corridor has been energised for traction power. The trial runs mark a major milestone in the development of the 11.4-km line, an extension of the operational Metro Line 7. Thus, Line 9 is the Metro that connects Mumbai with fully functional, the corridor is expected to alleviate vehicular congestion on Western Express Highway (WEH) and reduce overcrowding on Western Railway's suburban trains, particularly for daily commuters from the fast-growing Mira-Bhayander belt.'We are one step closer to operationalising a critical link in Mumbai's expanding Metro network,' said a senior official from the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority MMRDA ).Metro Line 9 is a crucial north-western suburban corridor that links Dahisar (East) to Mira Bhayander, passing through densely populated nodes like Kashigaon and Mira Road. Once operational, it will serve as a feeder corridor to Line 7, which is already in service between Dahisar East and Gundavali (Andheri East). It will also offer seamless connectivity to commuters heading towards the domestic airport via the upcoming Line 7A and further onwards to South Mumbai via Line the upcoming interchanges at Dahisar East (with Line 7) and at Gundavali (with Line 1 and Line 2A) will create a networked transport experience, reducing reliance on road-based transport and offering faster commute to MMRDA, the line shall reduce current travel times by 50-75% depending on road transport experts believe the commissioning of Line 9 will decongest major arterial roads such as WEH and reduce the load on local trains, particularly during peak hours.

Mumbai Metro Line 9 trial runs this week, Phase 1 to be operational by end of 2025
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) plans to conduct trial runs on Phase 1 of Mumbai Metro's Line 9 this week after a 4.9-km completed stretch between Dahisar (East) and Kashigaon was energised on May 10. According to officials, if all inspections and trial runs go as planned, the first phase of this Metro line is likely to open to the public by the end of this year. The 13.5-km Mumbai Metro 9 corridor, which connects Dahisar (East) and Mira-Bhayander, is being built in two phases. With construction on the entire stretch still in progress, MMRDA has planned to start operations on the completed stretch from Dahisar (East) to Kashigaon in its first phase. Line 9 consists of eight stations: Dahisar, Pandurang Wadi, Miragaon, Kashigaon, Sai Baba Nagar, Meditiya Nagar, Shahid Bhagat Singh Garden, and Subhash Chandra Bose Stadium. However, only the first four stations—Dahisar, Pandurang Wadi, Miragaon, and Kashigaon—will be operational in the initial phase. Giving an update on the progress of Metro Line 9, an official said, '96.7 per cent of the work on the entire corridor is complete.' Once operational, Metro Line 9, will connect Dahisar and Andheri. It will be integrated with Metro 7 (Dahisar East to Andheri East) and Metro 2A (Dahisar East to D N Nagar), allowing passengers to travel directly from Mira-Bhayander to Andheri using Metro. Metro Line 9 was initially planned to be commissioned completely by October 2024, but construction delays have consequently pushed back its completion. Local residents affected by the ongoing construction are facing significant traffic jams and have been requesting immediate relief. In response, the MMRDA has decided to launch Metro services on the completed sections instead of waiting for the entire line to be finished.
