The Mumbai Metro Aqua Line 3 app has received its final update with all the stations up to Cuffe Parade now visible on it (though marked as closed), raising hopes and excitement about the full line opening soon. Mumbai’s first and only underground Metro, Aqua Line 3, has been opening in phases. 

The total stretch from Aarey JVLR to Cuffe Parade is 33 km, with 27 stations — 26 underground and one at-grade.  On October 7, 2024, a 13 km stretch between Aarey JVLR and BKC opened, followed by another 9 km stretch from BKC to Acharya Atre Chowk, Worli. The line currently has an average passenger traffic of 70,000 per day, and there has been anticipation for the opening of the complete stretch, which was earlier expected in August but is now likely to happen in September 2025, depending on trials and certifications.
