Mumbai Metro 3 (Aqua Line): Check Fare, Timings, and Key Stations of City's Underground Metro

Mumbai’s first underground metro, Metro Line 3 (Aqua Line), was inaugurated today by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The first phase of the Mumbai Metro-3, covering the stretch from Aarey to Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), was formally launched during the event. During the inauguration, PM Modi traveled on the metro from BKC to Santacruz and interacted with school students, women, and workers involved in building Metro-3. He emphasized that the Mumbai Metro-3 would become a lifeline for the bright future of Mumbaikars.

PM Modi noted that 60% of the work on Metro-3 was completed when Devendra Fadnavis was the Chief Minister. However, he criticized the Maha Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government for halting the work out of arrogance. Modi stressed that the current Mahayuti government is focused on development, while accusing the MVA of creating obstacles in the progress of infrastructure projects.
