Metro Line-9, spanning 10.54 km from Dahisar East to Mira Bhayandar, is set to enhance Mumbai’s transportation network with eight elevated stations. The car depot for this metro line is planned at Dongri.

In the first phase of development, a tree survey was conducted at the proposed depot site due to limited accessibility. A proposal concerning 2,500 affected trees was submitted to the Mira Bhayandar Municipal Corporation (MBMC) in October 2024. Of these, 1,668 trees will be preserved, including 574 that will be transplanted and 1,094 left undisturbed. However, 832 trees have been proposed for removal.
