The Mumbai Metro 3 between Aarey and Bandra Kurla Complex is 12.5 km long and includes 10 stations, inspection by Commissioner of Metro Rail Safety is underway and safety certification awaited.

The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) is executing works on the remainder of the stretch and is in different stages of construction. The balance portion of the alignment is scheduled to be ready in March 2025.

“For example, in the 2013 notification, the metro stations at the airport were called International and Domestic. In the new notification, they are Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport – T1 and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport – T2,” said Ashwini Bhide, Managing Director of Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC).

Earlier, one of the stations was called Bandra, but since the station is in Bandra Kurla Complex, it has been renamed to Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC).
