Andheri is a metro station on Line 1 of the Mumbai Metro serving the Andheri suburb of Mumbai, India. It was opened to the public on 8 June 2014. After Ghatkopar, Andheri is the busiest station on Line 1, with 20% of all passengers traveling through the station.[1]
The Andheri station is connected with the Andheri railway station through a skywalk.[2][3][4]
Like other Line 1 stations, the interior walls of Andheri station are embellished with murals. The designs at Andheri were styled by three third-year architecture students: Shamika Desai, Misri Patel, and Shriya Sanil.[5]
