The Mumbai Metro network is growing fast and connecting almost every corner of the city. But many people still get confused about where they can change trains, which lines connect with each other, and which station is best for switching from east-west or north-south routes.

This guide explains every existing and upcoming interchange station in Mumbai — in simple language — along with nearby important places and the best way to use each interchange.

⭐ What Is an Interchange Station?

An interchange station is a metro station where you can switch from one metro line to another without exiting the paid area (in most cases).

Example:
Ghatkopar → Switch between Blue Line 1 and Central Railway.

Interchanges make travel faster, cheaper, and easier.
