The Aqua Line, also known as Mumbai Metro Line 3, is the city's first fully underground metro line. It stretches from Colaba in South Mumbai to SEEPZ in the north, covering a distance of about 33.5 kilometers with 27 stations, including important stops like Churchgate, Dadar, and BKC.

This line is being built to reduce traffic congestion and improve public transport in one of the world’s busiest cities. It will connect key areas of Mumbai, offering a faster and more comfortable travel option.

Mumbai Metro Line 3 Unveils First Look of Dadar Station

Mumbai Metro Line 3 gave a first look at the upcoming Dadar metro station in a post on X this Saturday. The station is located in the middle of one of Mumbai’s busiest areas. Its construction took a lot of hard work and planning, as teams had to move shops and utilities, and continue work through festivals and even during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Dadar will be the 16th station on the Aqua Line 3, which runs fully underground from Colaba to SEEPZ. Once the line is open, it will help people travel more easily and comfortably across some of the most crowded parts of the city.
