The Anil Ambani group-run Mumbai Metro is yet to pay Rs 28.55 crore rent to the regional planning body MMRDA for the land at the northwestern suburb of Versova where the metro operator had put up the casting yard, reveals an RTI answer from the authority.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) in a response to an RTI query filed by activist Anil Galgali said, "Mumbai Metro One Pvt Ltd (MMOPL) was handed over the Home Guard land measuring 2.4 hectare at Versova for a casting yard in January 2009 for a period of 15 months."
