Mumbai's First Underground Public Transport System
The Colaba-Bandra-SEEPZ Metro Line 3, also known as Aqua Line will be the first underground metro line in Mumbai and also one of the longest underground continuous stretches in India.
The Mumbai Metro Line 3 spans approximately 33.5 km, from Colaba (Cuffe Parade) in the extreme south of the city through Bandra, ending within the Special Electronics Export Processing Zone (SEEPZ) in the north-central.
The Aqua Line connects Mumbai’s most congested regions and key financial hubs such as Nariman Point, Bandra-Kurla-Complex (BKC), Fort, Worli, Lower Parel and Goregaon.
The Metro Line 3 has 27 stations (26 under-ground and one at-grade) of which there are nine underground stations in Phase 1.
These stations are being built at a depth of 20 to 29 metre. The station size has been standardised with platforms designed to fit eight-car trains.
Station works on the entire stretch is in the final leg.
The first phase of the project between BKC and SEEPZ is expected to be ready and open to the public by December this year.
