Until 1980s, transport in Mumbai was not a big problem. The discontinuation of trams resulted in a direct increase of passenger pressure on the suburban railway network. By 2010, the population of Mumbai doubled. However, due to the city's geographical constraints and rapid population growth, road and rail infrastructure development has not been able to keep pace with growing demand over the last 4-5 decades.{{cite web|url=http://202.54.119.40/projects_metro_rail.htm |title=Mmrda – Projects – Mumbai Metro Rail Project |publisher=Mmrdamumbai.org|access-date=12 March 2014|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120319164955/http://202.54.119.40/projects_metro_rail.htm|url-status=dead |archive-date=19 March 2012}} Moreover, the Mumbai Suburban Railway, though extensive, is not built to rapid transit specifications.

In 2011, the MMRDA unveiled plans for an extended Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ metro line.

The revised Mumbai Metro master plan had proposed a line along the Thane-Teen Haath Naka-Kapurbavadi-Ghodbunder Road route. The feasibility report concluded that the line was not feasible as most residents of Thane and its neighbouring areas travelled to Mumbai for work daily. On 14 June 2014, Chavan announced that the MMRDA was instead examining a proposal for a metro line along the new proposed route of Wadala-Ghatkopar-Teen Haat Naka route. RITES will prepare the detailed project report and is expected to submit it by August 2014. The preliminary report proposed a {{Cvt|32|km|2}} line with 29 stations, to be built at an estimated cost of {{INR}}22,000 crore.{{Cite news|url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/industry/transportation/railways/mumbai-metro-services-to-be-extended-till-thane-prithviraj-chavan/articleshow/36547492.cms|title=Mumbai Metro services to be extended till Thane: Prithviraj Chavan|date=14 June 2014|newspaper=The Economic Times}} This would be the fourth line of the metro, after the previously proposed Charkop-Dahisar route was merged with the Charkop-Bandra-Mankhurd route to form Line 2.{{Cite news|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/First-Metro-line-to-be-extended-to-Wadala-and-Thane/articleshow/36565838.cms|title=First Metro line to be extended to Wadala and Thane|website=The Times of India|date=15 June 2014 }}

In May 2015, the MMRDA said that it had begun planning for the Andheri-Dahisar line and Seepz-Kanjurmarg. Both lines are expected to be elevated, although the latter could be constructed underground if a proposal to extend Line 3 to Kanjurmarg is undertaken. DPRs for both lines had been prepared in 2004, along with the master plan, and the MMRDA would now update the DPRs. The agency also intends to construct Line 9 of the metro as an underground corridor from Sewri to Worli. However, planning for the project will only begun after the construction of the proposed Mumbai Trans Harbour Link commences.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai/mmrda-plans-two-new-metro-lines-for-mumbai/story-s5zWVrm5HYn1dJhKdhUNjM.html|title=MMRDA plans two new Metro lines for Mumbai|date=20 May 2015|website=Hindustan Times}}

Although both corridors had been planned as elevated lines in the Mumbai Metro master plan, the previous Congress-NCP had decided to construct all metro lines underground, after delays and difficulties caused by acquiring land for Line 1. However, Fadnavis believes that the two proposed lines can be constructed quicker and cheaper if they were elevated due to the proposed route of the alignment.{{Cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/cities/mumbai/mumbai-metro-rail-state-considers-elevated-metro-route/|title=Mumbai metro rail: State considers elevated Metro route|date=21 May 2015}} The Government plans to implement all future metro lines (except Line 3) as elevated corridors.{{Cite web|url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/mumbai/metro-2-to-be-built-in-three-phases-2-other-routes-also-on-cards/story-6eaO58ams57i7DyDX15LNM.html|title=Metro 2 to be built in three phases, 2 other routes also on cards|date=16 June 2015|website=Hindustan Times}} On 15 June 2015, the MMRDA announced that it would implement Line 2 of the metro in three parts.

In addition, the planned Line 3 and Wadala-Ghatkopar-Thane-Kasarvadavli line of the metro would also be constructed.

Fadnavis announced on 8 April 2017 that the government was considering a circular metro loop line along the Kalyan-Dombivli-Taloja route.

Mumbai Metro runs on alternating current (AC) which is typically more labour and cost-intensive. MMRDA joint project director Dilip Kawathkar stated that AC power was chosen "after a proper study by a team of experts" which found that the AC model was "a better option". Bidders for Line 3 were reportedly in favour of the DC model. Experts believe that the decision to use AC will escalate the project cost of underground lines by 15%, since more digging is required for the rail to work on AC.{{Cite web|url=https://www.mid-day.com/articles/mumbai-s-metro-3-will-be-one-of-the-few-in-the-world-to-run-on-ac/15298168|title=Mumbai's Metro-3 will be one of the few in the world to run on AC|date=15 May 2014|website=mid-day}}
