Things You Need To Know About Mumbai Metro Line 3

The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited aka MMRCL is undergoing its work for Mumbai’s first underground metro. Popularly called the Line 3 of Mumbai Metro, this line would be a 33.5-km-long and have 27 stations out of which, 26 would be underground, and only one of the stations would be an at-grade station. This line is the longest metro line in Mumbai and its connectivity and interchanges also seem to be a boon for the people of this city. Upon completion, this line would connect the Santacruz Electronics Export Processing Zone aka SEEPZ in the north-central part of Mumbai to Western India’s biggest business district, Cuff Parade in the city’s extreme south. It is expected to cost around INR 30,000 crores but would certainly lift off the load that the Bandra-Chruchgate Western Line had been experiencing over the years.
