Phase III
Phase III of the Mumbai Urban Transport Project was approved on 8 December 2011. It will cost ₹52,000 crore (US$7.7 billion). The feasibility study for the project cost ₹100 million (US$1.5 million). The project includes a fast corridor from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus to Panvel with a connection to the proposed new Navi Mumbai International Airport, extending the Harbour Line to Borivali, and multiple additional tracks being laid on existing routes. The project is scheduled for completion in 2031.
