There is already a tunnel under the sea in Mumbai, apart from this two more tunnels are being built. In which one tunnel is being built under the Coastal Road Project, the other tunnel is being built for the bullet train.

As the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation’s most ambitious endeavor, this phase of MCRP will create a 22.93 km high-speed corridor linking Versova with Dahisar, covering Mumbai’s northern-western suburbs.

A 4-km segment of this project, featuring twin tunnels, will run beneath densely populated areas in north Mumbai, including the Poisar River, Madh Creek, and mangrove patches.

The total project cost is estimated at Rs 16,621 crore, with Rs 5,821 crore allocated specifically for the twin tunnels.
