**Mumbai Metro Line 3 project is the first underground metro line in Mumbai. The Aqua Line 3 of the Mumbai Metro, also known as Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Line, is a part of the metro system under construction in Mumbai, India. When completed, the 33.5km long line will be the first underground metro line in Mumbai and will be operated by MMRDC.**

The metro line will connect Cuffe Parade business district in the extreme south
of the city to SEEPZ in the north-central with 26 underground and 1 at-grade
station. The 33.5 km long corridor will provide connectivity to the six business
hubs, 30 educational institutes, 30 recreational facilities and domestic as well
 as international airport terminals. 

## Key features of the project

SYSTRA is involved in the detailed design in Package UGC-01.UGC-01 which is one
