Mumbai Urban Transport Project
|
As a sequel to the Bombay Urban Transport Project (BUTP) which was completed in the year 1984 at a cost of about Rs. 390 million, the MMRDA has formulated a multi modal project viz Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) to bring about improvement in traffic and transportation situation in the MMR with the World Bank assistance. MUTP envisages investment in suburban railway projects, local bus transport, new roads, bridges, pedestrian subways and traffic management activities. Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC), a joint venture of Railways and Government of Maharashtra, is set up for implementation of rail projects under MUTP and other projects of Railways in the MMR.
The total estimated cost of the project is Rs. 45260 million ($ 943 million )
The World Bank has sanctioned a loan of Rs. 26020 millions ($ 542 million) i.e. 57% of the total cost on 18th of June 2002.
Some facts and figures
- Over 88% of the commuters in Mumbai travel by suburban trains or BEST buses.

JVLR is one of the five major East - West links proposed in suburbs to connect Western Express Highway and Eastern Express Highway. This link road is existing today. However, at present it has 2 - lane carriage way which is inadequate. It is proposed to widen this road to 6 - lane divided carriage way with a right-of-way of about 35 meters. Two flyovers are being constructed along the link road by MSRDC. The cost of this project is estimated at Rs. 1680 million. In all 1201 PAHs will be affected by this project.
