'''Malad West''' (officially known as '''Motilal Oswal - Malad West''') is an elevated metro station serving the Ekta Nagar neighbourhood of [[Malad]], on the North-South corridor of the [[Line 2 (Mumbai Metro)|Yellow Line 2A]] of the [[Mumbai Metro]] in [[Mumbai]], India. This station is owned by the [[Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority]] (MMRDA), and was inaugurated on 19 January 2023.

== History ==
Trial runs on a section of Line 2A, from Dahanukarwadi to Dahisar East, started on 31 May 2021. Dahisar East commercial operations began on 3 April 2022, with the first phase of Line 2A. In May 2024, Motilal Oswal Financial Services Limited (MOFSL), a prominent Indian financial services firm, strengthened its association with the Malad community by securing the naming rights to the Malad West metro station on Mumbai Metro's Yellow Line 2A. The station was officially renamed “Motilal Oswal Malad West,” reflecting the company's commitment to the area where it has maintained a significant presence for over two decades. This initiative underscores MOFSL's dedication to community engagement and its efforts to enhance brand visibility within Mumbai's urban landscape..<ref>{{cite web |title=Motilal Oswal Financial Services strengthens its ties with Malad by naming the local metro station ‘Motilal Oswal Malad West’ |url=https://www.businesstoday.in/impact-feature/story/motilal-oswal-financial-services-strengthens-its-ties-with-malad-by-naming-the-local-metro-station-motilal-oswal-malad-west-430452-2024-05-22 |website=Business Today |date=22 May 2024 |access-date=2 June 2025}}</ref>
