The rehabilitation of tenants affected by the Mumbai Metro 3 project has encountered significant delays, causing project costs to soar and placing an increasing burden on public funds. An RTI response obtained by activist Jeetendra Ghadge has revealed that the rehabilitation process, initially slated for completion by 2024, has been postponed by at least a year, with project expenses rising substantially.

The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) had originally planned to complete the construction of rehabilitation buildings for 576 Project Affected Persons (PAPs) from Girgaon and Kalbadevi across three different residential high-rise buildings. However, according to revised timelines, only one building is expected to be ready by July 9, 2025. The second building`s completion is now projected for November 26, 2026, while the completion date for the third building remains undetermined as the tendering process is still ongoing and construction has yet to begin.
