As a result, the Mumbai Metropolitan Regional Development Authority (MMRDA) received two bids for the implementation of this project. The plan is to build a cable car about 7.2 kilometres long that would create an important link to Metro Line 2A for the residents of Gorai and Marve and thus significantly increase the locals’ range of movement.

According to MMRDA officials, the aerial transport system has been planned to be faster than the ferries currently operating on this route. The MMRDA plan would essentially connect Charkop metro station to Marve village and Mahavir Nagar metro station to Gorai pagoda and village.

While interest in the project was rather low in the beginning, the MMRDA officials are now happy to have two interested parties at the same time.
