Background
The feasibility study for the Navi Mumbai Metro was carried out by the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). CIDCO was authorised as the implementing agency of the Belapur-Pendhar-Kalamboli-Khandeshwar line, under the Indian Tramway Act 1886, by the Government of Maharashtra on 30 September 2010.[3][4] The state government later asked the CIDCO to implement the Navi Mumbai Metro project under the Central Metro Act.[5] The detailed master plan for Line 1 was prepared by the DMRC. The proposed route will link Belapur, Kharghar, Taloje, MIDC, Kalamboli and the Khandeshwar railway station, terminating at the proposed Navi Mumbai International Airport.[6]
Construction
The metro's foundation stone was laid on 1 May 2011 by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan, and general foundation work on the system's first phase commenced in October 2011.[7] Line 1's first girder was placed on 13 December 2012.[8][9]
Line 1 is planned to be developed in 3 phases.[10]
| Phase | Termini | Length | Stations | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Phase I | Belapur-Kharghar-Taloja-Pendhar | 11.10 kilometres (6.90 mi) | 11 | ₹1,985 crore (US$240 million) |
| Phase II | MIDC Taloja-Kalamboli–Khandeshwar (extension to Airport proposed) | 10.30 kilometres (6.40 mi) | 8 | ₹1,509 crore (US$180 million) |
| Phase III | Interlink between Pendhar and MIDC | 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) | 1 | ₹574 crore (US$69 million) |
| Total | 23.40 kilometres (14.54 mi) | 20 | ₹4,068 crore (US$490 million) |
CIDCO awarded the contract for civil works in Phase I to six firms. The contract for technical work was awarded to one firm, at an estimated cost of ₹1,020 crore (US$120 million).[11] Spanish contractor San José Constructora will design and build five stations, located at Central Park, Pethpada, Sector 34, Panchanand and Pendhar.[12] In the second phase, an 8.15-kilometre (5.06 mi) line will be built from Khandeshwar to Taloje MIDC, with seven stations. The third phase will entail the merging of two rail corridors between Pendhar and MIDC with a 2.2-kilometre (1.4 mi) link, forming a loop from Belapur to Khandeshwar.[13][14] A maintenance depot will be constructed on a 20-acre (81,000 m2) plot at Taloja for the circular line, and a temporary maintenance depot will be constructed on five hectares of land at Khandeshwar.[6]
Line 1 is expected to be completed by 2016. CIDCO has plans to extend Line 1 up to Kalyan-Ulhas Nagar-Murbad.[15]
Funding
Phase I of Line 1 was executed using CIDCO funds. The total cost of Line 1 is estimated to be ₹4,068 crore (US$490 million).[16]
