Mumbai Metro Line 3: PM to inaugurate partial operations in early October

The highly anticipated Metro Line 3 in Mumbai is set to launch partial commercial operations between BKC and Aarey, with an inaugural run expected in early October, as confirmed by a senior official from Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL).

This development represents a significant leap forward in the city’s public transport infrastructure, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi expected to attend the flag-off ceremony alongside other key infrastructure inaugurations.

While some minor tasks, including automation and system integration, are still being finalised within the next few days, MMRCL has made considerable progress. The corporation has submitted a request to the Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety (CMRS) for approval of its rolling stock, which is currently under review by the Railway Board. Once approved, MMRCL will seek mainline CMRS approval, essential for initiating commercial operations between BKC and Aarey.

The Metro 3 corridor will be Mumbai’s first underground metro line, featuring twin tunnels that span 33.5 kilometers. This corridor will include ten stations along a 12.5-kilometer stretch, all scheduled to open to the public in early October, significantly enhancing the city’s commuting experience.
