Bids for Mumbai Metro Line-5’s Kasheli Depot Invited

Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) this week invited tenders from construction companies to build Mumbai Metro Orange Line (Line-5)’s Kasheli Depot (Package CA-151).

This metro train depot (car shed) along with supporting infrastructure is planned to be built on a 27.13 hectare land parcel (view on Google Maps) just south of Kasheli metro station under construction by Afcons Infrastructure in north-east Mumbai.

Besides administrative buildings, it’ll consist of a 690m long test track, stabling shed (SBL) with 30 lines, workshop shed (WSL) area with 3 lines, and an inspection shed (IBL) area with 4 lines.

This line’s depot was originally planned to be built in Kon Village, but MMRDA faced stiff resistance in acquiring land. The new site appears to be surrounded by mangroves, so I envision it’ll be quite a while before all approvals are received for constructing site approach roads and the actual depot.

    TMRG, I’m quite confused about Line 9 Carshed. On one hand they are Preparing a Feasibility Study to Extend Line 9 till Uttan where Carshed will be built at Khopra, but on the other hand, they Invited Bids for Geographical Survey of Rai-Murdhe Depot.
    Is that mean that they are still open on both sides ?
