| City police chief DN Jadhav said that more policemen would be deployed at key buildings, railway and bus stations.
Railway authorities will re-launch two of the seven refurbished train coaches which were badly damaged by the blasts.
On 11 July 2006, seven co-ordinated blasts within 15 minutes ripped through trains on Mumbai's commuter network.
More than 700 people were wounded in the serial blasts.
'Message of resilience'
Railway authorities say they want to send out a strong message of defiance and resilience by re-launching two of the seven damaged train coaches.
"I can't wait to travel on the same seat of the same coach in which I was travelling on that fateful day," said Ashok Singhal, a government employee who was the lone survivor in one of the coaches to be relaunched.
The Mumbai police believes the bombings were carried out by a group, linked to the Pakistani-based militant group, Lashkar-e-Toiba (LeT).
Pakistan rejects the allegations and says India had given no evidence of Pakistani involvement in the attacks.
The police has brought charges against 13 people, even though it had initially picked up more than 300 suspects.
Fourteen others are still wanted of which nine, according to the police, are Pakistanis.
Court proceedings against them are due to begin at the end of this month.
