A proposal to secure land for a car depot at Mogharpada in Thane for the crucial Metro Lines 4 and 4A, linking Central Mumbai with Thane, is set to be presented to the Cabinet within a week. This is a significant update as Mumbai Metro 4 (Wadala – Ghatkopar – Thane – Kasarvadavali) and 4A (Kasarvadavali – Gaimukh) cannot be operationalised until the car shed is established. This facility requires 35 hectares of land that will accommodate stabling lines, a control centre, washing area and maintenance yard.
With a consensus achieved between the state government, locals of Mogharpada, off Ghodbunder Road, the project will gain momentum toward completion. Sources indicate that the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and the state government have adopted the City and Industrial Development Corporation’s land acquisition model, which involves returning a portion of the developed land to inhabitants.
