MMRDA is constructing a 10.58 km Mumbai Metro-line 9 consisting of eight stations connecting Mumbai suburbs to Mira-Bhayandar city. 

This line will have two interchange Metro stations – the first is at Dahisar (E), which will interchange with the operational Metro Line-7 (Gundavali to Dahisar (E)) and Metro Line-2A (Andheri (W) to Dahisar (E)), and the second is at Miragaon Metro station with the upcoming Metro Line-10 (Gaimukh to Shivaji Chowk).
