MahaMetro has floated bids for 8 stations under the Thane Integral Ring Metro. As a result, the ₹12,200.10 crore loop project moves into its next execution phase.
Stations in this bid cycle (8):
- Elevated (6): Manpada, Dongripada, Vijay Nagri, Waghbil, Waterfront, Patlipada
- Underground (2): Thane Junction, New Thane
Bid estimates peg the two underground stations at ₹223.70 crore. They peg the six elevated stations at ₹228.44 crore. Together, this package totals ₹452.14 crore, before bid-based variation.
The tender sets a 5-year deadline for the underground works. It sets a 2.5-year deadline for the elevated stations. Meanwhile, MahaMetro expects groundwork after the monsoon, subject to site readiness and utility shifting.
Thane Junction: Multi-Modal Hub For Daily Commuters
Thane Junction will anchor the corridor’s most critical interchange node. It will sit alongside Central Railway’s Thane station. Therefore, it can absorb heavy commuter transfer demand.
In addition, the ring corridor will act as a feeder to Metro Lines 4/4A. It will also link into Metro Line 5 through planned interchange points on the loop.
