Really, there's a massive upgrading of Mumbai's infrastructure underway. Apart from the Metro, there are upgrades in the works for the rail system to increase capacity, revamping train stations, expansion and modernization of bus lines, stations and grid, major highway/flyover projects to decrease congestion and cut travel time, the construction of up to two more international airports, as well as the modernization of the Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport

Cheers,
Jai
