The trial run marks an important development in the realisation of the Metro track shrouded in controversy. Before giving the green signal, Chief Minister & Deputy Chief Minister of the state Mr. Eknath Shinde and Devendra Fadnavis inspected the Metro train from inside.
Nearly 17 lakh people will travel daily on this line once it is operational. With the commencement of this line, nearly seven lakh vehicles will go off road. It will definitely support the environmental cause. The MMRCL on August 30, 2022 launched the much awaited trial run of the Colaba - Bandra - SEEPZ Metro line-3 at Sariput Nagar in Aarey Colony.
Mumbai Metro Line 3: Project Details
The Colaba Bandra Seepz metro, also called Mumbai Metro Line 3, is an ongoing project being implemented by the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Limited (MMRCL). When completed, the 33.5-km-long Mumbai metro line 3 will be the first underground metro line in Mumbai, with 27 stations. Presently, of the 33 km underground tunnel, only 1.5km remains to be done.
As per media reports, the MMRCL aims to finish the Phase 1 works of the Aqua Line from Bandra to Seepz by January 2024. Post that another 6 months is set before operations of the phase 1 can start, provided the metro car shed land issue is sorted in the next three months. The reports also claims that the Aqua Line may be extended till Navy Nagar with the government appointing a consultant to do the feasibility study. The extension cost is pegged around Rs 2000 crore.
The initial deadline for the first phase- Bandra to Seepz was December 2021 and the second phase- BKC to Colaba was June 2022 for the first underground metro in Mumbai. Owing to the delay of the line, the cost of the project which was initially projected at Rs 23,000 crore has gone up to Rs 33,406 crore, excluding the cost of Navy Nagar extension that is being explored now.
