<p>New underground Dahisar-Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd Metro Line 2 project to cost Rs 29,000 crore</p>
As the Reliance Infrastructure-led Mumbai Metro Transport Private Limited (MMTPL) and the state government terminated, by mutual agreement, the Rs 8,000 crore contract to construct Charkop-Bandra- Mankhurd Metro Line 2, one of the most important reasons for the termination is said to be the non-availability of plot for a car depot at Charkop.
Officials from Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), who requested anonymity, told sunday mid-day that, as per the concession agreement, the MMRDA had to provide the plot for the depot to the contractor something which the planning authority failed to do.
