The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority is making rapid progress in its quest to expand the Mumbai-Thane metro network.

The nomination of a contractor for the construction of the Mogharpada Depot in Thane is the most recent milestone in this enormous project.

The Mogharpada Depot is poised to play a critical role in the operation of Metro Routes 4 and 4A, which connect Wadala to Gaimukh and serve important stations such as Ghatkopar, Mulund, Thane, and Kasarvadavali.

SEW-VSE (JV) has secured the esteemed position of the LI bidder for the Mogharpada Depot construction. Their competitive bid, amounting to Rs 9,05,00,00,000/- (Rs 905 crore), has been accepted, making them the lowest bidder for this crucial project.

The sprawling Mogharpada Depot will span approximately 42.25 hectares and encompass a range of essential facilities.

These include stabling yards, an operational control center, administrative buildings, maintenance and workshop structures, an auxiliary substation, staff quarters, and other indispensable infrastructure elements.

The depot's infrastructure is designed to accommodate 64 stabling lines (32 present and 32 reserved for future expansion), 10 inspection bay lines, and 10 workshop lines.
