The Navi Mumbai Metro is a rapid transit system in the city of Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. The planning and construction of the Navi Mumbai Metro were overseen by the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO). The system currently has 1 line and more lines are currently in the planning phase, with the extension of line 1 to the Navi Mumbai International Airport. The foundation stone. for the project was laid on 1 May 2011, with a target completion date of 2014. After over 9 years of delays due to slowdowns in construction caused by a lack of labour and adequate funding, along with land acquisition issues, the Line 1 of the metro commenced operations on 17 November 2023.
