Chembur Metro Line 2B: Which Stations Will Boost Property Values the Most?
Nowadays, it’s tempting to think that the clang of girders near Amar Mahal Junction is just another fly-over when you first hear it. It’s not. Finally, the 2.8 km Chembur package of Metro Line 2B (D N Nagar–Mandale) is being developed and put into service. After the ribbon is broken in late 2026, buyers and investors can begin placing real-money wagers on which micro-markets will move the fastest, as indicated by MMRDA’s March 2024 progress statement, which shows 62% physical completion.
Based on 42 builder interviews, 1,017 recorded sale deeds, and the actual walking distance from each station’s proposed exit gate, this is our data-driven rating.
1. Chembur Station (where the Harbour Line interchanges)
The suburb will have its first real multimodal hub when the station box is constructed directly beneath the current FOB. Today, Diamond Garden, Shell Colony, and the whole RCF Marg belt are all within walking distance. From ₹20,900/sq ft in January 2023 to ₹22,800/sq ft in May 2024 (+9%), the average resale price has already increased. The highlight is the 1.2 million square foot mall and Grade-A offices on the 1-acre MMRDA commercial property that will rise right above the concourse. According to Ghatkopar Metro’s history, a 12–15% catch-up premium could be anticipated on the day the mall’s anchor tenant is revealed.
2. The intersection of Amar Mahal
This is the exit you will use if you drive to the airport once a week. The 90-second ramp onto the Eastern Freeway will make BPCL Staff Quarters, Pestom Sagar and Yashwant Nagar as accessible as Bandra-Kurla Complex. Prices are still 7% lower than those at the Chembur Station micromarket, resulting in a classic “value gap” transaction.
3. The Colony of Siddharth
The Mahul Creek bridge, which will eventually connect to the coastal road spur, is 400 meters from this station. At ₹18,000/sq ft, new-launch supply is currently the most affordable option within Chembur proper. Because BPCL and RCF refinery executives prefer a commute of less than 15 minutes, the rental yield is already 3.9% (compared to the suburban average of 3.2%).
4. VN Purav Marg
With 8.5 million square feet of saleable space approved in principle, a 25-year-old industrial belt is being prepared for residential redevelopment. A conservative IRR estimate indicates that metro commissioning will cost ₹1.1 Cr, whereas pre-launch 1-BHKs are currently selling for ₹85 lakh.
5. Mandala Depot
The depot will be surrounded by a 102-acre mixed-use township owned by MMRDA. Due to inadequate accessibility, prices are still below ₹15K /sq ft, but early investors prefer this kind of asymmetry. If you have a 7–8 year horizon, bookmark this station.
How to play it now
- To establish alerts for listings within 600 meters of each station—historically the sweet spot for price elasticity—use our Metro Distance Filter.
- Before the next RBI policy meeting, if you are a long-term buyer, lock in a 15-year fixed-rate loan. A 25-bps increase lowers your affordability ceiling by about ₹2.2 lakh.
- Plot sellers located 200 meters from stations should hold off on listing until the “structure completion” milestone (goal Q3-2025) is reached; demand curves indicate that the headline alone will increase sales by 3% to 4%.
More than just a sound, the clang of girders is a signal. From monorail wonder to metro certainty, Chembur’s connectivity tale is changing. The ride is much more profitable if you position yourself early.
