Books, panels, and a 3-minute walk: Metro 3 makes LitFest travel a breeze

Mumbai’s cultural calendar is buzzing as the 16th edition of Literature Live! Mumbai LitFest takes center stage from November 7–9, 2025 at the National Centre for the Performing Arts (NCPA). Presented by Godrej Industries Group, this year’s festival promises a vibrant mix of fiction, poetry, philosophy, history, business, and science.

The city’s newly operational Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) has emerged as the most efficient way to reach the venue, especially for attendees traveling from South Mumbai and the western suburbs.

Major takeaways for LitFest attendees:

• Vidhan Bhavan Metro Station is just a 3-minute walk from NCPA
• Metro Line 3 connects Cuffe Parade to Aarey, offering seamless underground travel across key city zones.
• The line recorded 39 lakh riders in October, reflecting strong public adoption.
• Features include air-conditioned coaches, free WiFi, and digital ticketing for a smooth commute.
• Whether you're attending a panel on poetry or a publishing workshop, Metro 3 ensures you arrive on time—and in style.
