Mumbai's Metro Line-3 and Coastal Projects to Revamp Urban Connectivity and Real Estate
Real Estate Mumbai:Mumbai's real estate sector is on the verge of a significant transformation with the introduction of the first phase of the Mumbai Metro Line-3. Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi recently inaugurated this vital infrastructure project, marking a new era of connectivity for India's financial capital. The initial phase of the INR 14,120 crore Metro Line-3, known as the Aqua Line, connects Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) to Aarey, covering the JVLR section. This underground metro will revolutionize travel in the city with 10 new stations, including key transit hubs like T2 and Santacruz, thereby alleviating congestion and reducing travel times.

The full 33.5 km route of the Aqua Line will ultimately connect Aarey to Cuffe Parade, incorporating 27 stations along its path. The recently launched first phase spans 12.5 km between Aarey and BKC, providing a significant boost to the city's transport network. Furthermore, this metro line will integrate with Mumbai Metro Line 1 at Marol Naka, enhancing connectivity across key regions of Mumbai.
