Navi Mumbai Metro Route & Map
The Navi Mumbai metro is considered as the rapid transit system which was built by City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO).

The operation of Navi Mumbai metro started on 17th November 2023 with no formal inauguration. This metro line was made because of the chief minister of Maharashtra Eknath Shinde who gave the order to CIDCO.

Later on, the CIDCO appointed Maha Metro as the metro rail operator of Navi Mumbai metro.

The foundation stone of the Navi Mumbai metro was laid on 1st May 2011. Therefore the Corridor – 1 route includes Pendhar, Kharghar, Kalamboli, and Khandeshwar and there is another plan made by the government to extend the route of Navi Mumbai metro up to International Airport (NMIA).
