The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is set to obtain 15 hectares of land for the Metro 6 (Swami Samarth Nagar-Jogeshwari-Vikhroli-Kanjurmarg) depot. The state government has directed Mumbai’s Suburban Collector to hand over the Kanjurmarg plot for the depot construction, said officials privy with the matter.
By this week all formalities will be completed, said an official from the Mumbai Suburban Collector’s office.
