About Line 3 (Aqua Line)

The Aqua Line is Mumbai's showstopper – a fully underground metro connecting the northern suburbs to South Mumbai, including both airport terminals. This is the line that changes everything. For decades, South Mumbai was practically unreachable by public transport from the suburbs (unless you enjoyed 2-hour local train journeys). Now, you can zoom from Aarey to Cuffe Parade in under an hour, passing through BKC, Worli, and all of South Mumbai's iconic locations. The stations are architectural marvels with climate control that actually works. Trust me, stepping into Line 3's air-conditioned underground stations feels like entering a different city.

Key Highlights

  • Mumbai's first fully underground metro line
  • Direct connectivity to both airport terminals
  • Connects suburbs to South Mumbai via BKC and Worli
  • World-class station architecture and facilities
  • Passes through Mumbai's most expensive real estate
