Urban planners and local advocates criticize the Thane Ring Metro project for overlooking significant populations in areas like Kalwa, Mumbra, and Diva, impacting approximately 2.7 million residents. The design is described as redundant and not addressing actual connectivity gaps.
The Thane Integral Ring Metro project, an approximately INR 12,000-12,200 crore initiative spanning 29 km, is now under direct monitoring by the Prime Minister's Office (PMO) via the PRAGATI platform to expedite its progress, with a targeted completion by 2029.
The Maharashtra government has decided to cancel the proposed metro car shed project in Dongri, Mira-Bhayandar, Thane district, due to sustained opposition from local residents, environmental concerns, and land use issues. The decision, announced by Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik, prioritizes citizen welfare and environmental protection, with plans of an alternative site to keep the metro project on schedule.
