WHAT ABOUT PHASE 3?

The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL) on February 28 achieved a significant milestone towards completion of the city’s first underground corridor, as a trial train reached Cuffe Parade station, the last point of the 33.5-km Metro-3, also known as the aqua line. The MMRC had, in a release, said it had achieved a “historic milestone" with this trial, adding that it demonstrated the readiness of key infrastructure elements, including rolling stock, tracks, and civil works.

“The arrival of train trial at Cuffe Parade, covering a 10.99 km stretch from Acharya Atrey Chowk to Cuffe Parade, marks a crucial step toward the commissioning of Phase 2B," the release stated.

MMRC managing director Ashwini Bhide had said, “Train trials for Phase 2A from Dharavi to Acharya Atrey Chowk are in full swing, and simultaneously, we have successfully initiated train movement from Acharya Atrey Chowk to Cuffe Parade. We are committed to commissioning the entire line by July 2025."

WHAT IT MEANS FOR COMMUTERS

When fully operational, the entire Metro-3 line will connect key areas of Mumbai through 27 stations, of which 26 will be underground.
Trains are expected to run at intervals of just 4 minutes and 24 seconds during peak hours, ensuring that the metro system offers a rapid and efficient mode of transportation for Mumbai’s bustling population.
It will drastically improve connectivity to major commercial hubs such as Nariman Point, Bandra-Kurla Complex and SEEPZ, making it easier for commuters to travel across the city.

The metro network is projected to serve approximately 1.3 million passengers daily, offering a much-needed alternative to the city’s overcrowded roadways and suburban rail network.
The introduction of this metro line is expected to reduce overall road traffic by 35%, easing congestion and reducing travel time for both public transport users and motorists.
