The route will have 17 metro stations

The government has invited bids for the construction of Kalyan-Dombivali-Taloja Metro Line 12 in order to construct a metro rail network outside of Greater Mumbai.

Also known as the Orange Line, this metro corridor will connect Mumbai's extended suburbs, which are becoming increasingly populated and do not have an efficient public transportation system.

To construct the route and its 17 metro stations, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) invited bids from civil contractors.

The cost of the project is estimated to be Rs 1,5218 million. Ganesh Nagar, Pisavali Gaon, Golavali, Dombivali MIDC, Sagaon, Manpada, Sonarpada, Hedutane, Kolegaon, Nilje Gaon, Vadavali, Bale, Waklan, Turbhe, Pisarve Depot, Pisarve, and Taloja are the 17 stations that will begin in Kalyan East.

MMRDA officials have set a deadline of three years for the project
