What Happened
The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority acquired land for Laxmi Nagar station in Vikhroli, the last remaining station on Metro Line 4. The 16,762 sqm plot was purchased from Godrej & Boyce Manufacturing Company for Rs 164.31 crore. Land acquisition talks began in 2019 but faced legal challenges and bureaucratic delays. Construction surveys are underway. The 32.32-km corridor targets full operations by 2027, expected to reduce travel time between Thane and Mumbai by 50-75 percent.
