CM Shinde congratulated the residents of the state on the opening of the Metro line.

"The much-awaited metro services will commence on line 1 between Belapur to Pendhar from November 17. Hearty congratulations to all Navi Mumbaikars. The Maharashtra government had given instructions to CIDCO that the metro should be made operational at the earliest for the citizens of Navi Mumbai. Accordingly, Metro services are being commenced without waiting for an official public programme," CM Eknath Shinde was saying as quoted by PTI.

According to the report, the state government was waiting for PM Modi to inaugurate the metro, however, due to some reason they decided to start it.

"The metro services will provide better connectivity within Navi Mumbai. The government aims to build a strong network of metro lines in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. CIDCO is implementing a metro network very effectively in Navi Mumbai," Shinde further said.

CIDCO vice chairperson and managing director Anil Diggikar said line 1 will ensure better connectivity for rapidly developing Kharghar and Taloja nodes along with CBD Belapur. The metro line stretching from Belapur to Pendhar encompasses a total of 11 stations, and the depot is situated at Taloja Panchanand.
