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.[3] After Ghatkopar, Andheri is the busiest station on Line 1, with a daily passenger traffic of 72,125 in February 2017.[4]
The Andheri station is connected with the Andheri railway station's foot-over bridge through a skywalk.[5][6][7] MMOPL later built a shorter connector that reduced the time taken by commuters to switch systems.[8]

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.[9]
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.[10][11] 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.[12]
