In a major development in the Dahisar East to Andheri East Metro 7 Corridor project, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) on 7 May 2020 got 12 escalators and two elevators from China
These will be installed at three different stations of the Metro line. MMRDA plans to commence the Rs 4,830 crore 16.5 km corridor before 31 December 2020
Of the 12 escalators, four each will be installed at Poisar (Mahindra & Mahindra), Magathane and Dindoshi (Pathanwadi) stations of the corridor, whereas the two elevators would be installed at the Akurli station
Earlier, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) had completed tunnelling on one of the stretches on the Colaba-SEEPZ corridor. The tunnel boring machine (TBM) Vaitarna-2, which was commissioned on 2 February 2018 from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) launching shaft, has completed its longest run at Mumbai Central station with 2,730 RCC rings
This was the 28th tunnel breakthrough in the Metro-3 corridor, and Vaitarna-2 has become the first TBM in the corridor to complete the stretch of four km in a single drive. The four km long tunnelling includes construction of five underground stations beginning from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus to Mumbai Central through Kalbadevi, Girgaon and Grant Road
A total of 17 TBMs have been deployed for the tunnelling work on this project. MMRC had aimed to complete 100 percent tunnelling work of the project by September 2020
