Mumbai’s long-awaited Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line) has opened its crucial BKC–Worli stretch, marking a transformative moment for city commuters. The 9.77 km underground corridor, inaugurated by Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, connects Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) to Acharya Atre Chowk in Worli, slashing travel time between these key business hubs to just 15–20 minutes.
 
Key Highlights:
  • The six new underground stations on the stretch-Dharavi, Shitaladevi, Dadar West, Siddhivinayak, Worli, and Acharya Atre Chowk-are equipped with platform screen doors, escalators, lifts, and driverless-ready trains.
  • Trains run from 6:30 am to 10:30 pm daily (from 8:30 am on Sundays), with eight trains running 244 trips daily and a headway of just over six minutes during peak hours.
  • Ticket fares vary from ₹10 to ₹40, making the metro convenient for daily travel.
  • The new connection opens the city's central business hubs-BKC, Lower Parel, and Worli-to direct connectivity along with prominent religious and entertainment destinations such as Siddhivinayak Temple, Mahim Dargah, and Shivaji Park.
  • The BKC station will be a major interchange point, with future connectivity to Metro Line-2B as well as the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train.
  • The extension is anticipated to increase daily ridership, decrease road traffic by 35%, and save fuel, resulting in lower noise and air pollution.
  • Property experts forecast an upsurge in demand and property values along the corridor, with commercial and residential rentals set to increase by 10–15% in surrounding localities.
  • The last leg from Worli to Cuffe Parade is to be completed by August, facilitating unbroken North-South connectivity from Aarey to South Mumbai in less than one hour.
With this inauguration, Mumbai Metro Line 3 will usher in a new era of urban mobility with a quicker, cleaner, and more integrated future for the city.
