Mumbai Metro Pillars Painted in Line-Specific Colors as Monsoon Pause Looms

Painted in line-specific hues, 86 percent of Mumbai’s metro pillars await monsoon breaks, with officials urging citizens to guard the artwork.

Overview

  • The MMRDA has completed painting 2,537 of roughly 2,950 metro pillars across six corridors, marking 86 percent of the beautification drive.
  • Corridor-specific progress ranges from full coverage on Line-7A to 68 percent on Line-6, with Lines-2B, 4/4A, 5, and 9 each exceeding 80 percent completion.
  • Launched under the leadership of CM Devendra Fadnavis and Metropolitan Commissioner Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, the effort blends functional wayfinding with vibrant urban art.
  • Painting work is paused for the monsoon season and is set to resume once weather conditions improve.
  • Officials have appealed to residents to prevent defacement and see the initiative as groundwork for future metro expansions and upgraded signage.
