Versova metro station was not planned for the metro rail but after many negotiations, the station was added. In 2012 the construction of the station was completed at a cost of ₹200Cr. A new metro is under construction in the same area by the name of Pink Line (Line 6) and will make the congestion less on Line 1.

It has slashed the journey time between Versova and Ghatkopar from 71 minutes to just 21 minutes, greatly improving efficiency and reducing travel hassles for passengers.
