Asalpha is an elevated metro station on the East-West Corridor of the Blue Line 1 of Mumbai Metro in Mumbai, India. It was opened to the public on 8 June 2014. Asalpha's metro station is the third last station towards Ghatkopar in the Metro Line 1. The Metro Station since then has served as an efficient and affordable alternative to reach Ghatkopar (the closest Railway Station from Asalpha area). The ticket to Ghatkopar costs only ₹10 per person.
History
This station had originally been named Subhash Nagar, despite the fact that it was not located near the Subhash Nagar area. Following appeals from local residents, the MMRDA decided to change the name of the station to Asalpha in December 2013. The next station (towards Ghatkopar), which had originally been named Asalpha, was subsequently renamed Jagruti Nagar.[2]
