In a few years, travelling to south Mumbai won’t involve commutes in overcrowded buses or trains, or traffic holdups on the road.

Line 3 of the Mumbai Metro that connects Cuffe Parade in the south to Special Electronics Export Processing Zone in the suburbs via the business district of Bandra Kurla Complex over 33.5 km will be completed in phases at a cost of Rs 23,136 crore.
