The phase one of Mumbai's first underground Metro Aqua Line-3 between Aarey and Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC), slated to begin functioning on October 4, will see all the stations on the route operating. 

Sources said that the two airport stations, T1 and T2, will also open this year, and a special arrangement will be made for entry and exit. The larger station complex, is a part of the Transit-Oriented Development (TOD) — a scheme that aims to allow more development near metro stations which can benefit commuters. The station would be an inter-modal transportation hub for the under-construction Aqua Line-3, Red Line-7A and planned Airport Express Gold Line-8.
