Mumbai: A trial run for Phase 1 of Metro Line 9 was successfully conducted on April 2 between Kashigaon and Dahisar. The inauguration of the metro stretch, which was earlier scheduled for April 3, has now been postponed.

Earlier this week, MMRDA Chief Sanjay Mukherjee, alongside senior officials of MMRDA and Maha Mumbai Metro, conducted a site inspection and reviewed safety measures and overall operational readiness. The inspection focused on ensuring that all systems are prepared for public use.

People have long been awaiting the inauguration of Metro Line 9. The area currently depends heavily on road transport, leading to frequent traffic congestion. The new metro line is expected to provide a faster and more reliable travel option, reducing pressure on busy roads.

Metro Line 9 Phase I spans 4.5 kilometres, connecting Dahisar East to Kashigaon, with stations at Pandurang Wadi and Miragaon. Though relatively short, the corridor is strategically important as it extends metro access deeper into the northern suburbs and integrates them with Mumbai’s wider transit network. Though currently the official inauguration date is not out, with the opening of phase 1 of Metro 9, the Golden Nest flyover in Mira-Bhayandar is also expected to open on the same day.
