With four metro projects reaching either the stage of execution or tendering, the state government will take up another metro line -- Jogeshwari to Vikhroli (Metro-6) – to connect the east-west corridor. Currently, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is updating a detailed project report (DPR) on Metro-6. Except Metro-3, all metro lines in the city will be elevated in order to make them financially viable and ensure speedy execution. Earlier, it was expected the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation – a joint venture of the Centre and state -- will take up this line, amid reports of extension of the Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro-3 to Kanjurmarg. The MMRDA also plans to extend Metro-7 till the city airport, which will provide connectivity between south Mumbai and northern parts of the city.
