Mumbai Metro's Yellow Line Reaches Chembur on Line 2B
Chembur station opened on the Line 2B branch of the Yellow Line, taking the operational section to six stations after the first 5.8 km from Diamond Garden to Mandale started carrying passengers in April 2026. The station sits roughly 200 metres from Chembur suburban railway station and about 100 metres from the monorail, making it a three-mode interchange; Line 2B as a whole is estimated to cost 10,986 crore rupees.
- Chembur station (VNP and RC Marg Junction) on Line 2B of the Mumbai Metro’s Yellow Line is dated 13 August 2026 in both the article’s Planning opening table and its station table[1]
- It follows the first 2B stretch, which the lead describes as “On 7 April 2026, a 5.8 km (3.6 mi) section of Line 2B from Diamond Garden to Mandale was made operational for passengers”, while the Planning table and the station table date those same five stations – Deshbhakt N.G. Acharya Udyan-Diamond Garden Chembur, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk (Chembur), Deonar, Mankhurd and Maharashtranagar Mandale – to 8 April 2026; the article cites a Hindu piece dated 7 April 2026 for the lead’s version[1]
- With Chembur added, the operational part of Line 2B is those five April stations plus Chembur, six in all, and the article’s infobox status reads “Fully Operational: Line 2A” and “Partly Operational: Line 2B”[1]
- The article’s tables count both 2B openings together as 6.411 km (3.984 mi), which does not match the 5.8 km (3.6 mi) the lead gives for the April section alone, and put the Yellow Line total at 25.011 km (15.541 mi)[1]
- Metro 2B as a whole is estimated at ₹10,986 crore including ₹1,274 crore of land acquisition, the figure the Maharashtra Cabinet approved on 27 September 2016; half comes from the Centre and State and the rest from loans, though the article names the lenders inconsistently – the Asian Development Bank with the New Development Bank in the EPC section and the Asian Development Bank with the World Bank in the Cost section[1]
- Line 2B runs 23.643 km from DN Nagar to Mankhurd with 20 stations in the Construction section, but the corridor approved in September 2016 is described as 23.5 km with 22 stations and the status table is headed “Work is in progress at some of the 22 stations”[1]
- The rest of Line 2B is still to come: Hare Ram Hare Krishna Mandir - Juhu, Prem Nagar, Indira Nagar (Vile Parle), Nanavati Hospital, Khira Nagar and Saraswat Nagar are listed for December 2026, and Bandra (Western), Income Tax Office, ILFS, MTNL, SG Barve Marg, Kurla (East) and Eastern Express Highway for December 2027[1]
- The whole Yellow Line is elevated and grade-separated, owned by MMRDA and operated by Maha Mumbai Metro Operation Corp. Ltd., running from Dahisar in the northwest to Mandale in Mankhurd via Andheri, BKC and Chembur; the earlier 2A section opened in two stages, Dahisar East to Dahanukarwadi on 2 April 2022 and Dahanukarwadi to Andheri (West) on 19 January 2023[1]
- 2B was built twice over: its original contractors Simplex Infrastructure (package one, ₹1,080 crore) and an RCC Infra Ventures-MBZ joint venture (package two, ₹521 crore, covering the Diamond Garden-Mandale stretch and the Mandale depot) were sacked on 4 February 2020 having completed 5% and 4.46% of their work, and J Kumar Infraprojects (₹1,307.88 crore, June 2021) and Nagarjuna Construction Company (₹760 crore, March 2022) took over, with work resuming in March 2023[1]
- The newly opened stretch is served by the Mandale depot, a 28 hectare double-decker site with 76 stabling lines that the article calls “the largest metro depot in Mumbai” and still describes as under construction, 80.72% complete in the status table dated 25 September 2023[1]
- The article contradicts itself on how large the line is: the lead says Metro 2A comprises “17 of the 39 stations that form part of this route”, the Stations section says “There will be a total of 37 stations on Line 2” (17 on 2A plus 20 on 2B), and the numbered station table runs only to 36[1]
- The article’s own navigation box still lists Chembur – along with Diamond Garden, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Chowk, Deonar, Mankhurd and Maharashtranagar Mandale – as “under construction”, contradicting the 2026 opening dates the body gives them[1]
- The wiki records nothing about the interchange distances in the pin’s description – roughly 200 metres to Chembur suburban railway station and about 100 metres to the monorail – and gives no publication or last-updated date for the page, which was captured at revision oldid=1369799969[1]
