Mumbai: Mumbai Metro 6, the Pink Line, aims to enhance daily commuting and significantly reduce travel times for office-goers in Andheri, Powai, Vikhroli, and Jogeshwari. This 15.2 km elevated corridor will link Swami Samarth Nagar in Lokhandwala to Vikhroli via the Eastern Express Highway, providing a major east-west transit option. Expected to commence operations by late 2026, it is projected to shift 30% of current road users to metro services, alleviating traffic congestion and cutting pollution levels. Notably, the Pink Line is designed to reduce travel times along the JVLR route by 30 to 45 minutes.
The Pink Line will feature a fully elevated corridor encompassing 13 stations: Swami Samarth Nagar, Adarsh Nagar, Jogeshwari (West), JVLR Junction, Shyam Nagar, Mahakali Caves, SEEPZ Village, Saki Vihar Road, Rambaug (Powai), Powai Lake, IIT Powai, Kanjurmarg (West), and Vikhroli (EEH). As of late 2024, the project is approximately 66% complete, with 71% of the viaduct and 52% of station work finished. Station structures are anticipated to reach 75% completion by June 2025, with civil work expected to conclude by mid-2025.
Metro operations will employ 108 metro cars for six-coach trains, facilitated by CBTC signaling for optimal efficiency. The metro is scheduled to operate between 6 AM and 10 PM, with train frequencies set at every 5–7 minutes during peak hours and every 8–10 minutes off-peak.
The Pink Line will provide vital interchanges with other metro lines, including Line 2A (Yellow) at Adarsh Nagar, Line 7 (Red) at JVLR Junction, Line 3 (Aqua) at SEEPZ Village, and Line 4 (Green) at Kanjurmarg West. Additionally, it will connect with the Western Railway Line at Jogeshwari and the Central Railway Line at Kanjurmarg, allowing for smooth transfers across different modes of transport.
Ticketing will be managed via smart cards and QR code tokens, with expected fare rates ranging from Rs 10 for short distances to Rs 50 for longer journeys. Originally proposed in the 2004 Mumbai Metro master plan, the Pink Line underwent several developments and approvals, including project reports and aerial surveys for precise alignment mapping.
Collaboration with the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation has also allowed for a dual-purpose structure, integrating a flyover with metro infrastructure, highlighting efficient urban planning measures.
