In a significant move to make public transport more affordable, the City and Industrial Development Corporation (CIDCO) has announced a reduction in Metro fares for the Belapur-Pendhar Metro Corridor. The revised fare structure, set to take effect from September 7, 2024, will see a reduction of up to 33%, with the minimum fare dropping to Rs. 10 and the maximum fare to Rs. 30.

Vijay Singhal, VC & MD of CIDCO, stated, “To ensure that more and more commuters can benefit from the fast and comfortable Metro service, we have reduced the ticket fares. This new fare structure will advantage both short and long-distance travelers. I encourage the people of Navi Mumbai to continue their positive response to the Metro service and take full advantage of it.”

Under the new fare system, tickets will be priced at Rs. 10 for distances up to 2 km and between 2 to 4 km, Rs. 20 for distances between 4 to 6 km and 6 to 8 km, and Rs. 30 for distances from 8 to 10 km and beyond. Previously, a ticket from Belapur Terminal to Pendhar was Rs. 40, which has now been reduced to Rs. 30.
