BMC Plans LAPs Around Metro 3 Stations

20 Mar 2026 CW Team

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has proposed preparing Local Area Plans (LAPs) for areas around Mumbai Metro Line 3 stations to enhance land use, traffic flow, and infrastructure planning. The initiative is part of efforts to align urban development with the city’s expanding metro network.

In the first phase, four stations will be covered at an estimated cost of Rs 1.37 crore, with further phases planned to include all 27 stations along the corridor. The overall project cost is expected to rise as coverage expands.

The LAPs will be developed through detailed assessments, including satellite imagery analysis, site inspections, and household surveys. These studies will map land use patterns, road networks, parking availability, and traffic movement to identify infrastructure gaps.

The scope also includes preparation of land-use maps, traffic circulation plans, and road design proposals, particularly for key roads between 12 m and 45 m wide. Station-level development frameworks will outline planning guidelines, infrastructure needs, and implementation costs.

The initiative, targeted for completion by 2028, will serve as a framework for coordinated development along the 33.5-km Metro Line 3 corridor connecting Cuffe Parade to Aarey, supporting improved mobility and structured urban growth.
