The stations include Lokhandwala Complex, Adarsh Nagar, Momin Nagar, Jogeshwari-Vikhorli Link Road, Shyam Nagar, Mahakali Caves, SEEPZ Village, Saki Vihar Road, Ram Baug, Powai Lake, IIT Powai, Kanjurmarg (W) and Vikhroli - Eastern Express Highway. Pink Line is to provide interchange with Yellow Line at Adarsh Nagar, with Aqua Line at SEEPZ, with Green Line at Kanjurmarg (West), with Red Line at Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road and the Mumbai Suburban Railway at Jogeshwari on Western Railways and Kanjurmarg on Central Railway. Construction is to begin by December 2018.[1] [2] It is to be ready by 2021–22.[3]

History

The line was approved by Chief Minister Fadnavis on 19 October 2016. The MMRDA issued a tender to conduct a detailed aerial mapping survey of the alignment in April 2017. Authorities were to determine the location of trees along the alignment with an accuracy of up to 10 cm, utilizing a differential GPS (DGPS), while a digital aerial triangulation system is to help determine the types of trees, their heights and diameters.[4]
