ordered that the rights to execute Line 11's construction be handed over to MMRCL (Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation), which further tweaked its alignment from an existing route (Wadala-CST) to a new route (Anik Bus Depot - Shyama Prasad Mukherjee Circle) passing through localities such as Nagpada Junction, Byculla, Bhendi Bazaar, and Crawford Market.
