This report is the Third Semiannual report on environmental safeguards compliance of the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Authority for Line 07 Project. It covers the period from March 2020 to August 2020. 2. Mumbai does have a very good transportation system but has not been able to keep pace with the increasing demand. The carrying capacity of the Rail and bus-based system has been increased considerably over the last 4 – 5 decades but traffic has increased much faster. Due to various constraints of existing system as also the limitations in increasing their carrying capacity, a new Mass Rapid Transit System is essential to take care for the next few decades. 3. A master plan has been prepared and various corridors finalized. The master plan includes a total length of 338 kms. The 07 network will cover Andheri East to Dahisar East for providing seamless transportation for the Citizens of Mumbai. 4. Mumbai Metro Line – 07 route length is 16.475 Km & is designed completely on elevated corridor comprising of 13 stations. It will provide interconnectivity among the existing Western Express Highway, Eastern Express Highway, Western Railway, Central Railway, Monorail, Metro Line 1 (Ghatkopar to Versova) and Metro Line 2A (Dahisar to D N Nagar), Metro Line 4 (Wadala to Kasarvadavali) & Metro Line 3 (Colaba to SEEPZ) under implementation & also provide connectivity between the Eastern & Western Suburban Mumbai. 5. Implementation of Andheri-E to Dahisar-E corridor of Mumbai Metro Project, including all the works mentioned in the DPR for a length of 16.475 KM will be Executed by MMRDA for which consortium of Ayesa Ingenieria, Italferr, Consulting Engineering Group & Ayesa India Ltd (AICA) appointed as General Consultant. 6.
