At the same event, Line 3 was christened as Aqua Line, inspired by the vital flow of the sea which is an integral part of the city.

The Mumbai Metro Aqua Line trainset interior colour harmony is inspired by the people of Mumbai--always on the move, who turn to the sea for peace and are soothed by its waves and breeze. This inspired the idea to use a unique blend of comfort (beige) and freshness (arctic green) to provide a relaxing and refreshing travel experience. The trainsets for Aqua Line will be equipped with a regenerative braking system aiding a significant reduction in carbon emissions. The 177.2 meter-long trainsets will have a higher capacity capable of ferrying around 3,000 passengers in one trip to accommodate high passenger flow.

 The Mumbai Metro Aqua Line trainset will have safety features that include CCTV cameras, smoke detectors, emergency intercoms, fire extinguishers with large detrainment doors to quickly evacuate passengers in an emergency. The trainsets have appropriate signages, three rows of grab rails, grab handles, poles for holding and dedicated space for passengers with luggage. The design also ensures easy accessibility and comfort for the differently-abled, with dedicated space for a wheelchair in every car.

 The Aqua Line has 27 stations (26 underground & 1 at-grade), 33.5-km long underground stretch connecting the busiest and most congested regions in Mumbai – one of the fastest-growing cities in India. The metro line will connect the Cuffe Parade business district in the extreme south of the city to Santacruz Electronics Export Processing Zone in the north-central. The Aqua Line will be the first underground metro line in Mumbai and will be one of the longest underground continuous stretches in India.
