# Inauguration of Mumbai Metro Line 9

![Inauguration of Mumbai Metro Line 9](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/05/train-on-the-platform-of-line-9.jpeg)

This high-profile event was presided over by Devendra Fadnavis, Chief Minister
of Maharashtra State, and Deputy Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and marked a
turning point for the project, on which SYSTRA India has been working as General
Consultant since 2019.

## A sustainable alternative to road transport

The almost 5-km stretch connecting Dahisar and Kashigaon, is expected to provide
relief to commuters in the Mira-Bhayander region, which currently depends
heavily on road transport, leading to frequent traffic congestion.

## SYSTRA: a long-established collaboration with the Mumbai Metro

SYSTRA’s first assignment with the Mumbai Metro was in 2007, involving studies
for Line 1 of the network, entirely constructed in U-shaped viaduct.

Since then, we have been awarded several other assignments by our client the
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), including a
[General Consultancy contract for lines 10 and 12](https://www.systra.com/en/news/systra-wins-another-contract-on-the-mumbai-metro-in-india/)
, a Detailed Design Consultancy contract for the depot at Kasheli on line 5, and
the branding designs of station signages.
