In order to generate funds for the completely underground and ambitious Colaba-Bandra-Seepz (CBS) metro line three, the Mumbai Metro Railway Corporation (MMRC) has decided to commercially exploit three plots owned by Brihanmumbai Electric Supply and Transport (BEST) below which the metro line will pass.

MMRC has decided to commercially exploit three plots owned by BEST at Hutatma Chowk, Mahalaxmi and Seepz (4904 square metres). Confirming the same, an official from MMRC said, “We will require funds for the construction of CBS which is a completely underground line and so we will be commercially exploiting the two plots of BEST at Mahalaxmi and Seepz . The third plot located at Colaba will be used for the construction of entry and exit of the station.”
