About the Line 1 (Blue)
The first metro line in Mumbai, connecting Versova to Ghatkopar. It provides a vital east-west link, crossing the city's suburban railway lines.
History
Launched in June 2014, Line 1 (Versova-Andheri-Ghatkopar) was the first metro corridor in Mumbai and remains its most critical east-west link. It successfully bridged the gap between the city's two main suburban rail lines (Western and Central), reducing a grueling 90-minute commute to just 21 minutes. The line was a public-private partnership (PPP) and set the standard for modern transit in the city.
