Staging collapse at Wadala site on Mumbai Metro Line 4 resulted in two deaths. Same contractor and subcontractor were involved in February fatal Mulund slab collapse. Project authority has not commented.

Wadala TT police registered a case against sub-contractor Tariq-ul-Islam for negligence after workers Nahij, 33, and Sakim, 37, died in a staging collapse at a metro construction site near Bhakti Park Monorail Station in Wadala East on September 12 at 7:30 pm.

Worker Shafikul Mukhtar Hussain, 31, reported that he and six colleagues were employed for centring work at the site. After the evening shift ended around 7 pm, four workers used a staircase to descend from the first floor. Nahij and Sakim attempted to climb down using an iron staging structure when it suddenly collapsed, causing both to fall from the first floor to the ground.

They were rushed to Sion Hospital in a private vehicle. Nahij was declared dead before admission; Sakim died during treatment in the intensive care unit.

Police charged Tariq-ul-Islam under Section 106(1) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) for causing death by negligence. Hussain alleged the sub-contractor failed to take adequate safety precautions at the site. Investigations are ongoing into safety arrangements and construction practices.

The 17.5-km Metro Line 11 connecting Wadala to Gateway of India was approved by Maharashtra cabinet in September 2025. The project is pending Central government approval; officials state central cabinet approval is needed before loan signing and tender processes can begin. No movement reported since last year.

Line 11 is planned as extension of Green Line from Anik Depot, Wadala to Gateway of India. Fully underground corridor except one at-grade station, with 14 stations total covering Wadala Truck Terminal, Sewri, Byculla, Bhendi Bazaar, Crawford Market, and CSMT. Will be Mumbai's second underground metro corridor after Aqua Line (Colaba to SEEPZ via BKC).

Funding proposed by Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA). Once built, will integrate with Metro Line 3 at CSMT, Metro Line 4 and Monorail at Wadala, and suburban railway stations at Byculla and CSMT, improving north-south connectivity in South and East Mumbai.

The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) issued tenders to hire an interim consultant for proposed Metro Line 11. The 17.4-km fully underground corridor will run from Anik Depot to Gateway of India, traversing east and south Mumbai. The line will feature 14 stations: 13 underground and one at-grade, connecting Wadala, Byculla, Nagpada, Bhendi Bazaar, and Colaba. The alignment starts at Anik Depot near Wadala, passes beneath Mumbai Port Trust area, and tunnels under historic precincts before emerging near Gateway of India, making it the southernmost metro extension. A major highlight is the integrated depot at Anik combining a Metro car depot at lower levels with a BEST bus depot above, using vertical stacking for land use maximisation. The interim consultant will finalise alignment and station locations, conduct geotechnical surveys, prepare preliminary tunnel and station designs, draft civil tender packages, and plan traffic diversions and resettlement strategies. MMRCL plans to appoint the interim consultant by early 2026. Full-scale construction is expected to begin late 2026 or early 2027 after government approvals. The project will follow MMRCL's Aqua Line 3 standards with Indian and international safety codes, routed through Ministry of Railways. Once completed, Line 11 will link eastern suburban commuters and Green Line 4 corridor directly to Fort and Gateway of India. MMRCL officials described it as Mumbai's most technically challenging Metro line due to tunneling through dense, heritage-rich neighbourhoods beneath century-old structures.
