Maharashtra’s Cabinet (Infrastructure Committee) approves the ₹13,856-crore Metro Line 12A, an elevated corridor intended to improve links between Kalyan-Dombivli and Navi Mumbai. Coverage reports the state sets a target of completing the project within about three-and-a-half years, with the Chief Minister directing officials to expedite metro projects.
The project is described as running on an 18.40 km alignment from Manpada–Katai Naka to Taloja, via Kalyan Phata, and planned with 12 stations. Outlets also describe built-in road/metro integration features such as flyovers, along with interchange facilities at key points including Katai Naka and Amandoot, and proposed feeder bus services at stations. One report adds that the corridor is expected to reduce travel time versus road, and outlines passenger-capacity expectations.
Across the sources, the main differences are in which construction and connectivity details are foregrounded—some focus on the cost and headline link, while others provide more granular information on route, flyover lengths, interchange nodes and service plans.
