The state cabinet on October 6, 2015 gave its nod to build two elevated metro routes: Dahisar-D N Nagar and Andheri East-Dahisar East.

MBMC commissioner Dr Naresh Gite had placed a proposal before the general body regarding demand for extending Metro to the Mira-Bhayander region. All parties including the ruling BJP-Shiv Sena, agreed to the demand. The proposal will now be sent to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (

MMRDA

), which is implementing the Metro projects.

The MBMC suggested that the line on the east side can pass through Kashimira, Golden Nest Circle, Maxus Mall, Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose ground and Bhayander (west), while the one on the west (Link Road) can pass through Mira Road and Bhayander (west). The lines are scheduled to be completed by 2019.
