Officials believe the new corridor will probably connect to Metro Line 12 close to Taloja after passing via National Highway 48 and Kalyan-Shilphata Road. It’s possible that the corridor will share stations and tracks with the planned Metro 14 from Katai Naka to Kalyan Phata.

According to a plan by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), Metro 12A will travel between Kalyan’s Manpada and Khutari hamlet in Taloja. The 18.4 km elevated route will enhance the connection between the trans harbour districts of Navi Mumbai and Kalyan-Dombivli.

According to MP Shrikant Shinde, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has authorized the extension of Metro Line 12 through a new corridor that runs parallel to Kalyan-Shilphata Road in Thane district at a projected cost of Rs. 8,414.53 crore.

As the PTI reported, Shinde stated that the extended corridor, which would be built as Metro Line 12A, would connect Kalyan to Taloja via vital nodes such as Katai Naka, Desai Naka, Kalyan Phata and Dahisar Mori, speaking after assessing the status of current infrastructure projects in his Kalyan Lok Sabha district. “It would greatly enhance connectivity between Kalyan-Dombivli, Navi Mumbai and Mumbai and it is projected to alleviate traffic congestion on the busy Kalyan-Shilphata stretch,” he stated.
