The Union Cabinet on Friday approved the Thane Integral Ring Metro Rail Project corridor, in Maharashtra. The 29-km corridor will run along the periphery of the west side of Thane city with 22 Stations. The network is encompassed by Ulhas River on one side and Sanjay Gandhi National Park [SGNP] on the other.

This connectivity would provide a sustainable and efficient mode of transport, facilitating the city to realize its economic potential and ease traffic congestion on the roads. The project is also expected to contribute to the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
