The '''Navi Mumbai Metro''' is a [[rapid transit]] system under construction in the [[India]]n city of [[Navi Mumbai]], [[Maharashtra]]. The planning and construction of the Navi Mumbai Metro is being overseen by the [[City and Industrial Development Corporation]] (CIDCO). The system is planned to consist of three rail lines covering a total distance of {{convert|106.4|km|mi}}.<ref name="maharashtra1">{{cite web |url=http://www.cidco.maharashtra.gov.in/NMM_Introduction.aspx |title=Introduction |publisher=CIDCO |year=2012 |access-date=3 July 2014}}</ref> The foundation stone for the project was laid on 1 May 2011;<ref name=BeginsEco/> following construction delays, the metro's first line was projected to open in 2020.<ref name="TToI">{{cite news |url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/navi-mumbai/Navi-Mumbai-Metro-misses-deadline-may-start-operations-by-2017/articleshow/37895667.cms |title=Navi Mumbai Metro misses deadline, may start operations by 2017 |newspaper=[[The Times of India]] |date=6 July 2014 |access-date=1 November 2014}}</ref><ref name="dnaindia1">{{cite web |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/1881449/report-next-metro-only-by-2016 |title=Next metro only by 2016 - Mumbai - DNA |website=DNA India |access-date=28 September 2013}}</ref> However, due to the ongoing [[COVID-19 pandemic]], which caused lockdowns, curfews, and lack of labour, which resulted in several delays in construction, the deadline is pushed to 2022 for completion of the first line (Line 1) of Navi Mumbai Metro.

==History==
The Navi Mumbai Metro projects received formal approval on 29 April 2010, and a public hearing on 21 May 2010 reported no major objections to the plan.<ref name="worldsnap1"/> CIDCO was named 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="maharashtra1"/><ref name="MasterPlan2012">{{cite news |url=http://www.dnaindia.com/india/report_cidco-takes-navi-mumbai-metro-plan-ahead_1667823 |title=Cidco takes Navi Mumbai metro plan ahead |publisher=DNA India|date=27 March 2012 |access-date=5 April 2012}}</ref> The metro's foundation stone was laid on 1 May 2011 by Chief Minister [[Prithviraj Chavan]], and general foundation work on the system's first phase commenced in October 2011.<ref name=BeginsEco>{{cite news |url=http://articles.economictimes.indiatimes.com/2011-10-28/news/30332811_1_first-phase-navi-mumbai-metro-rail-pendhar |title=Work on first phase of Navi Mumbai Metro Rail begins |newspaper=The Economic Times |date=28 October 2011|access-date=30 October 2011}}</ref> In March 2012, CIDCO released the metro's complete master plan, including a proposed connection to the [[Mumbai Metro]].<ref name="MasterPlan2012"/> In February 2017, RITES submitted an interim detailed project report (DPR) for Lines II, III and IV of the Navi Mumbai Metro.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cidco studying interim report on 3 lines of Metro project - Times of India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/navi-mumbai/cidco-studying-interim-report-on-3-lines-of-metro-project/articleshow/57132955.cms|website=The Times of India|access-date=15 February 2017}}</ref>

In February 2013, thousands of villagers in the Navi Mumbai area protested against CIDCO's inaction on local housing developments and its failure to provide restitution for locals affected by infrastructure projects. The protesters pledged to "shut down the CIDCO head office and all development projects in the region. These will include the metro project and any progress on the airport project".<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/Mumbai/Massive-agitation-by-Navi-Mumbai-villagers-from-today/Article1-1009782.aspx |title=Massive agitation by Navi Mumbai villagers from today |newspaper=Hindustan Times |date=11 February 2013 |access-date=12 February 2013 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130212010504/http://www.hindustantimes.com/India-news/mumbai/Massive-agitation-by-Navi-Mumbai-villagers-from-today/Article1-1009782.aspx |archive-date=12 February 2013 |df=dmy-all }}</ref>

==Network==
The Navi Mumbai Metro is planned to consist of five lines, totaling {{convert|106.4|km|mi}} in length.<ref name="maharashtra1"/> {{asof|2017}}, Line 1 of the metro is under construction, with operation projected to commence in 2022.

===Line 1===
{{Main|Line 1 (Navi Mumbai Metro)}}

All the phases of Line 1 will be constructed and funded by CIDCO. Lines 2 and 3 will be funded by the [[Navi Mumbai Municipal Corporation]] and [[Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority]] respectively. The total cost of Line 1 is estimated to be {{INRConvert|4068|c}}.<ref name="maharashtra1"/>

====Construction====
The {{convert|23.40|km|mi|adj=on}} Line 1 consists of 20 stations. The proposed route will link [[CBD Belapur]], [[Kharghar]], [[Taloje Panchnad|Taloja]], Taloja MIDC, [[Kalamboli]], [[Kamothe]] 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 |access-date=31 August 2010 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100714091048/http://www.worldsnap.com/news/city/mumbai/neither-objections-nor-any-suggestions-for-metro-project-74978.html |archive-date=14 July 2010 }}</ref>

In mid-2012, CIDCO awarded the {{INRConvert|321|c}} contract for the construction of the 11.1 km section from Belapur to Pendhar to a consortium of Sanjose (Spain), Mahavira Road and Infrastructure (Navi Mumbai), and Supreme Infrastructure (Mumbai). The original deadline to complete the project was in 2016. This was later extended to mid-2017, and then mid-2018. By January 2017, only 60% of the work on the stations had been completed. Finding the progress of work to be unsatisfactory, CIDCO sent a notice terminating the contract to the consortium on 11 January 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=Cidco mulls terminating line 1 Metro contract - Times of India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/navi-mumbai/cidco-mulls-terminating-line-1-metro-contract/articleshow/56765238.cms|website=The Times of India|access-date=3 March 2017}}</ref> On 1 March 2017, CIDCO floated new tenders to construct 11 stations along the Belapur-Pendhar section. The previous contractors had completed 60% of the work on the stations. The new contract with worth {{INRConvert|141|c}}.<ref>{{cite web|title=Push for Navi Mumbai Metro, maiden run likely by May 2018 - Times of India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/navi-mumbai/push-for-navi-mumbai-metro-maiden-run-likely-by-may-2018/articleshow/57440866.cms|website=The Times of India|access-date=3 March 2017}}</ref>

==Infrastructure==
An international consortium of companies including [[Ansaldo STS]], [[Tata Group|Tata Projects]] and CSR Zhuzhou will provide the electrical and mechanical systems for the first phase of Line 1. Ansaldo will conduct systems integration and supply train control systems, telecoms, fare collection systems and equipment storage.<ref name=GazetteR/> The metro's standard gauge network would be electrified at 25 kV [[alternating current|AC]], with power provided via an [[overhead catenary]].<ref name=GazetteR/>

===Rolling stock===
