Mumbai Metro News: Mira-Bhayandar residents may soon get better metro connectivity as four additional stations on Mumbai Metro Line 9 are expected to become operational by December. The upcoming stretch will run from Kashigaon to Subhash Chandra Bose Stadium, adding four stops to the existing route.
According to reports, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has finished nearly 96% of the civil work on this section. Once opened, commuters will be able to access the metro through stations at Sai Baba Nagar, Meditya Nagar, Shaheed Bhagat Singh Garden and Subhash Chandra Bose Stadium.
The new stations are expected to improve travel options for people living in Mira-Bhayandar and make it easier to connect with other parts of Mumbai's suburban metro network.

Mumbai Metro Line 9: What Commuters Should Know
The first section of Metro Line 9, a 5 km stretch between Dahisar East and Kashigaon, began carrying passengers in April 2026. It has four stations and works as an extension of Metro Line 7, which runs from Dahisar East to Gundavali in Andheri East.
