History edit

Versova metro station was not planned for the metro rail but after many negotiations, the station was added. In 2012 the construction of the station was completed at a cost of ₹200Cr. A new metro is under construction in the same area by the name of Pink Line (Line 6) and will make the congestion less on Line 1
