The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation has emerged as the “lowest bidder” to operate and maintain the 33.5-km Line 3 of the Mumbai Metro, officials said on Thursday.
Mumbai Metro’s proposed Line 3 will run from Aarey to Cuffe Parade, covering 27 stations.
The process will pave the way for the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) to foray into a region much beyond the National Capital Region (NCR), if it gets the job.
“The Mumbai Metro Line 3 is currently under construction under the MMRDA (Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority) and is expected to be operationalised in parts from the end of this year onwards,” the DMRC said in a statement.
