Andheri is an elevated metro station on the East-West Corridor of the Blue Line 1 of Mumbai Metro serving the Andheri suburb of Mumbai, India. It was opened to the public on 8 June 2014. [3] After Ghatkopar, Andheri is the busiest station on Line 1, with a daily passenger traffic of 72,125 in February 2017. [4]
The Andheri station is connected with the Andheri railway station's foot-over bridge through a skywalk. [5] [6] [7] MMOPL later built a shorter connector that reduced the time taken by commuters to switch systems. [8]
Like other Line 1 stations, the interior walls of Andheri station are embellished with murals. The designs at Andheri were styled by three third-year architecture students: Shamika Desai, Misri Patel, and Shriya Sanil. [9]
In February 2017, MMOPL announced that Andheri station would be rebranded as Bank of Baroda Andheri Metro station, as part of a sponsorship deal. [10] [11] In April 2021, following the expiration of Bank of Baroda’s sponsorship, the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) took over the sponsorship, leading to another rebranding of the station. [12]
From March 2025, Mumbai Metro One decided to terminate some metros at Andheri coming from Ghatkopar during Peak hours of the day to manage frequency of metros.[ citation needed ]
