This underground infrastructure aims to enhance connectivity in the financial capital, linking the Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) to Aarey and covering the vital Jogeshwari-Vikhroli Link Road (JVLR) section.

Mumbai’s highly anticipated Aqua Line—the city’s first underground metro system—is set to transform urban transportation and mark a new era of efficient, high-tech travel in the bustling metropolis.

Aditya Kankaria, CEO of Bharti Airtel in Mumbai, emphasized that the company’s strategic investments in enhancing and strengthening network infrastructure along the Aqua Line reflect their dedication to ensuring customers enjoy seamless, high-speed mobile connectivity while using the city’s public transit system.

“This commitment is further underscored by our eagerness to support Mumbai’s first-ever underground metro line, ensuring that customers can enjoy reliable, blazing-fast internet connectivity as an integral part of their daily commute. As Mumbai embraces this new era of efficient, technologically-advanced public transportation, Airtel stands ready to elevate the commuting experience with high-speed 5G connectivity,”  Kankaria added.

Stretching 33.5 kilometers, this advanced metro line will connect major transit points, including the renowned Terminal 2 (T2) airport and the lively Santacruz neighborhood.

Throughout the entire route, Airtel has significantly upgraded its 5G infrastructure, allowing passengers to access high-speed mobile internet, clear voice calls, and seamless data transmission during their travels.

Each of the ten underground stations is equipped with dedicated in-building solutions to ensure reliable, high-quality connectivity, enhancing the overall commuting experience.
