November 05, 2025: The Mumbai Ring Road Master Plan is set to redefine the city’s transport network by 2029, with seven interconnected corridors spanning 90.18 km across the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Developed by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) in collaboration with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), the Rs 58,517 crore project aims to create a seamless travel experience across Mumbai.
The initiative will link North and South Mumbai through a mix of coastal roads, flyovers, bridges, and tunnels, ensuring uninterrupted east–west connectivity. Once completed, it is expected to reduce travel time across the city to under 59 minutes, support economic growth, and ease chronic traffic congestion.
According to the MMRDA, the plan includes seven major ring roads, each starting and ending at Nariman Point, creating a loop of interconnected urban and suburban corridors. The network integrates projects like the Mumbai Coastal Road, Sewri–Worli Connector, Bandra–Versova Sea Link, Goregaon–Mulund Link Road (GMLR), and the Orange Gate Tunnel, along with extensions of the Eastern Freeway and the Alibaug–Virar Multi-Modal Corridor.
Key sections such as the Mumbai Coastal Road are already operational, while the Sewri–Worli Connector and Orange Gate Tunnel are under construction, with completion expected by 2025 and 2028, respectively. The GMLR, launched in July 2024, will form a vital east–west route by 2028.
The MMRDA envisions a “Mumbai in 59 Minutes” goal, ensuring that travel between any two city points takes less than an hour. Beyond transport efficiency, the project is expected to unlock new real estate corridors, improve logistics, and reduce vehicular emissions, ultimately enhancing the city’s liveability.
