Kashigaon is an elevated metro station on the Red Line of the Mumbai Metro, located in Kashigaon, Mira-Bhayandar, Maharashtra, India. The station is owned by the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) and was opened to the public on 7 April 2026 as part of Phase 1 of Line 9.[1] It currently serves as the northern terminus of the Red Line, with services running through to Gundavali in Andheri East via Dahisar (East).[2] The station is located approximately 1.4 km east of Mira Road railway station on the Western Line.[3]
History
The station was constructed by J Kumar Infraprojects as part of a ₹1,998 crore (US$210 million) contract awarded by MMRDA in September 2019 for the design and construction of Line 9 and Line 7A.[4] The foundation stone for Line 9 was laid by Prime Minister Narendra Modi on 18 December 2018.[5]
Kashigaon was opened on 7 April 2026, when Phase 1 of Line 9 was inaugurated by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis along with Deputy Chief Ministers Eknath Shinde and Sunetra Pawar. Commercial services began on 8 April 2026.[1] The first passenger to travel from Kashigaon was Girish Bawaskar, a resident of Mira Road.[6]
Power and signalling system
Like all other stations on the Mumbai Metro, Kashigaon uses a 25,000 volt AC power system by "overhead catenary" to operate the trains. The station uses the Alstom Urbalis 400 communications-based train control (CBTC) signalling system.[7]
