Set for its inauguration on Gudi Padwa, Phase 1 of Metro line 7 (Dahisar East to Aarey Milk Colony) and Phase 1 of Metro line 2A (Dahisar to Dahanukarwadi) will run with drivers for a few months. The authorities are planning to open Phase 2 of both the corridors by August this year.

Speaking to the media, Metropolitan Commissioner SVR Srinivas said, “On Saturday, Phase 1 of Metro line 7 and Phase 1 of Metro line 2A will be inaugurated at the hands of Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray. We are planning to open the lines for commuters on Sunday. But, if at all we decide on opening it on Saturday itself, then people will be informed in advance.”
