The extension will have 9 stations, with an inter-station distance of 1 km. The line will run parallel to the Surat-Dahisar Highway, then turn left at Kashi Mira Junction, before passing through Mira Road-Bhayander, and terminating at Golden Nest Circle, Bhayander. The project is estimated to cost ₹3,600 crore (US$500 million).[3][4][5] The extension was approved by the Maharashtra government in September 2018, and will be implemeneted as Metro 9.

In March 2017, the MMRDA stated that the DMRC was conducting a feasibility study to extend the line to the T2 terminal of the airport. The proposed 3.17 km extension from Andheri to the domestic airport will pass beneath Line 1's WEH station and is expected to cost between Rs 1,500 and 2,000 crore.[6] The extensions to Mira Road and the airport were officially announced by Chief Minister Fadnavis on 30 March 2017.[7][8][9] The alignment for the extension from Andheri to Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Terminus was approved by the State Cabinet on 12 April 2017.[10] The 3.17 km includes a 0.98 km elevated stretch and 2.11 km tunnel.
