===Background===
The feasibility study for the Navi Mumbai Metro was carried out by the [[Delhi Metro Rail Corporation]] (DMRC). CIDCO was authorised as the implementing agency of the Belapur-Pendhar-Kalamboli-Khandeshwar line, under the ''Indian Tramway Act 1886'', by the [[Government of Maharashtra]] on 30 September 2010.<ref name="ReferenceA">[http://www.cidco.maharashtra.gov.in/NMM_Introduction.aspx CIDCO :: Introduction Page]</ref><ref name="MasterPlan2012">[http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_cidco-takes-navi-mumbai-metro-plan-ahead_1667823 "Cidco takes Navi Mumbai metro plan ahead"].

Retrieved 5 April 2012.</ref> The state government later asked the CIDCO to implement the Navi Mumbai Metro project under the Central Metro Act.<ref name="dnaindia.com">[http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/1881449/report-next-metro-only-by-2016 Next metro only by 2016 | Latest News & Updates at Daily News & Analysis]</ref> The detailed master plan for Line 1 was prepared by the DMRC. The proposed route will link Belapur, Kharghar, Taloje, MIDC, Kalamboli and the Khandeshwar railway station, terminating at the proposed [[Navi Mumbai International Airport]].<ref name="worldsnap1">{{cite web|url=http://www.worldsnap.com/news/city/mumbai/neither-objections-nor-any-suggestions-for-metro-project-74978.html |title=Neither objections nor any suggestions for metro project | Mumbai, World Snap |publisher=Worldsnap.com |year=2010 |accessdate=31 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100714091048/http://www.worldsnap.com/news/city/mumbai/neither-objections-nor-any-suggestions-for-metro-project-74978.html |archivedate=14 July 2010 }}</ref>
