Mumbai metro line 3 The Mumbai Metro system is an urban Mass Rapid Transit System (MRTS) serving Maharashtra’s capital. Its development has been entrusted to the Mumbai Metropolitan Region DevelopmentAuthority (MMRDA), who in 2004 came out with a 146.5 km master plan with multiple lines.

Due to various issues which range from policy paralysis to environmental issues, the MMRDAhas so far only been able to implement 1 metro line to connect Versova in the western suburbs with Ghatkopar in the eastern suburbs. In 2015, a new 118 km master plan was approved and the new government has provided much needed impetus for the development of 2 lines (Dahisar E –Andheri E & Dahisar – D.N. Nagar) in addition to the upcoming Colaba-SEEPZ line.

Role and Responsibility

I was hired by M/S FP design as a freelance consultant for mumbai underground metro line 3, package 6 where .the initial planning of station was done by the FP design.

My scope was to design all the above ground structure including interior spaces of station box I have studied the layout and proposed few correction as per my design concept, in this process, I finalized material finishes related to floor finish, interior elevations and ceiling design followed by 3D Visualisations.

The concept was to design the station such that it would help in reducing the construction cost with minimalistic approch In this approach above ground structure has been composed in two different masses incorporating beautiful facade structure which helps the design look visually balanced.

At present, this design has been presented to Mumbai metro rail corporation who have agreed to incorporate it on to mumbai package-4 and on the other upcoming metro line as well.
