As the Maharashtra government eased COVID-19 restrictions, Mumbai Metro also extended the operational hours by 1 hour from June 7.
This means the last metro train is now available from Versova at 9:50 pm and from Ghatkopar at 10:15 pm. However, the first train from Versova will now leave at 06:50 am instead of 7.50 am.
“#MumbaiMetroOne has extended its operational hours in the evening. Now board the last train from Versova at 9:50 pm and from Ghatkopar at 10:15 pm,” Mumbai Metro tweeted from its official account on June 6.

Moreover, Metro One, the only metro line running between Ghatkopar and Versova stations, has decided to increase its daily services by 30 per cent from June 7. The frequency is 10 minutes in peak and 15 minutes during non-peak hours.
At present, metro services are available with the first train from Versova at 7.50 am and the last train from Ghatkopar at 10.15 pm. Now, the first train from Versova will leave at 06:50 am and the last train from Ghatkopar at 10:15 pm, it had said in a tweet.
This decision comes as there has also been an increase in movement of essential commuters with recent relaxation.
Mumbai Metro services reopened in October last year after the lockdown-induced due to the first wave of coronavirus without age or gender restrictions and with strict safety protocols.
