Mumbai Metro One will extend its services until 1.03 am from September 14 to September 25, 2026 to help passengers travel conveniently and safely during the Ganeshotsav 2026, an official statement said on Friday.
The extended service has been announced ahead of festive season, when large numbers of people are expected to travel across Mumbai.
The operator said the move is aimed at providing passengers with a safe, reliable and convenient public transport option during the festive period.
Under the revised schedule, the last Mumbai Metro trains will operate at the following times:
- Versova to Ghatkopar: 12.15 am
- Ghatkopar to Versova: 12.40 am
- The last train leaving Ghatkopar will reach Versova at 1.03 am
Passengers travelling late at night have been advised to take note of the revised timings and plan their journeys accordingly.
The extended operating hours will remain in place for 12 days, from September 14 to September 25.
Mumbai Metro One said that it remains committed to providing safe, reliable and convenient transport services for Mumbai residents during the festive season.
Meanwhile, devotees heading out to celebrate Ganeshotsav 2026 will have more time to visit pandals and return home as the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation (MMRC) has extended services on the Aqua Line (Metro Line 3) until midnight during the festive period.
According to the officials, the extended services will be available from September 14 to September 25, providing devotees with additional travel time during the celebrations.
At present, the last trains from both terminal stations - Cuffe Parade and Aarey JVLR - depart at 10.30pm. Under the revised schedule, services will continue until midnight, giving passengers an additional 90 minutes to travel.
The Aqua Line passes through several areas that attract large crowds during Ganeshotsav 2026, including Siddhivinayak, Dadar, Worli, Mahalaxmi and Girgaon, officials said.
The extended Metro Line 3 operating hours are expected to provide Lord Ganesha devotees with an alternative to road transport and help them avoid traffic congestion during the festival, they said.
