Andheri is an elevated metro station on the East-West Corridor of the Blue Line 1 of Mumbai Metro serving the Andheri suburb of Mumbai, India. It was opened to the public on 8 June 2014. After Ghatkopar, Andheri is the busiest station on Line 1, with a daily passenger traffic of 72,125 in February 2017.
The Andheri station is connected with the Andheri railway station's foot-over bridge through a skywalk. MMOPL later built a shorter connector that reduced the time taken by commuters to switch systems.
Like other Line 1 stations, the interior walls of Andheri station are embellished with murals. The designs at Andheri were styled by three third-year architecture students: Shamika Desai, Misri Patel, and Shriya Sanil.
History
In February 2017, MMOPL announced that Andheri station would be rebranded as Bank of Baroda Andheri Metro station, as part of a sponsorship deal. In April 2021, following the expiration of Bank of Baroda’s sponsorship, the Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) took over the sponsorship, leading to another rebranding of the station.
From March 2025, Mumbai Metro One decided to terminate some metros at Andheri coming from Ghatkopar during Peak hours of the day to manage frequency of metros.
