The Metro rail lines linking Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA) the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) are here to stay. Navi Mumbai’s planning body, the City Industrial Development Corporation Limited (CIDCO), said that it has taken up the preparation of detailed project reports (DPRs) in this regard, taking ahead the plans of the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) and that it would be other interior Metros only that have been converted into a trolley-bus system called Metro Neo.

Elaborating on the plan, a CIDCO official said the NMIA is expected to be operational by December 2024.
