The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has reissued a tender to appoint a consultant for a comprehensive techno-economic feasibility study of the proposed 43.7-km Metro Line 14 connecting Kanjurmarg and Badlapur. The project includes 24 stations and a 3.25-km tunnel section.

The new study, with a seven-month timeline, will update reports, conduct surveys, and explore funding models including Public-Private Partnership options.
