Aqua Line: Designed to serve generations

Business Standard

|

October 09, 2025

Mumbai's first underground Metro corridor, the Aqua Line, marks a transformative step in the city's public transport evolution.

Designed to serve generations, it represents a modern, efficient, and environmentally sensitive solution for an already developed metropolis. Despite its significant capital investment, the underground system's flexibility, safety, and non-intrusive presence make it a sustainable urban mobility model.

Recognizing the need for financial sustainability, MMRC has focused on developing supplementary, non-fare revenue streams. Given the socioeconomic diversity of Mumbai's commuters, fare structures and periodic revisions must remain affordable yet economically viable. Therefore, achieving operational break-even and servicing debt obligations depend heavily on robust non-fare income generation.
