Mumbai Metro Restores Lines 2A and 7 After Line 9 Trial Snag Triggers Morning Disruptions

The operator cited a minor point‑section snag during a Line 9 trial near Dahisar East, with full services restored by early afternoon.

Overview

  • MMMOCL temporarily shifted to single-line working between Ovaripada and Aarey and ran short-loop trains between Gundavali and Aarey to keep services moving.
  • Line 2A continued operating between Andheri West and Dahisar East, while contingency patterns helped manage passenger flow on Line 7.
  • Reports said the disruption began around 7 a.m. and lasted roughly five hours, with entry briefly restricted at some stations including Dindoshi.
  • The operator said maintenance teams were deployed immediately and emphasized that the measures were safety-driven and short-lived.
  • Line 9 trials are underway on the Dahisar East–Kashimira stretch ahead of a future extension toward Bhayander West, as Lines 2A and 7 recently logged a record 340,571 daily riders.
