About
Mumbai Metro Line 6 (Pink Line) is a 14.47 km elevated metro corridor connecting Lokhandwala (western suburbs) to Vikhroli (eastern suburbs) via Powai and JVLR. Sanctioned in 2018 and under construction since 2019, the line provides Mumbai's first dedicated east-west cross-link in the western-central suburbs band — connecting the Andheri tech corridor to the Vikhroli industrial belt.
MMRDA is executing the project at ₹6,716 crore through L&T (lead) + Tata Projects in 2 packages. The fully-elevated viaduct uses BEML 6-coach trainsets identical to Lines 7 + 2A, running on 25 kV AC. Phased opening targeted for 2025-26.
The alignment crosses the Sanjay Gandhi National Park boundary at Powai-JVLR — a 2 km section requires environmental clearance for elevated viaduct construction over forest reserve land. Wildlife corridors are integrated into the alignment to allow safe leopard movement.
Line 6 connects to: Line 1 at SEEPZ (Andheri East), Line 4 at Vikhroli (under construction), and the planned Line 9 + 14. When operational, it forms a critical east-west spine for Mumbai's western IT cluster.
