Acharya Atre Chowk metro station


Acharya Atre Chowk is an underground metro station located in the Worli area of Mumbai, India. It serves the North–South corridor of the Aqua Line 3 of the Mumbai Metro. The station commenced operations on 10 May 2025, as part of Phase 2A of the Aqua Line 3, extending service from Bandra Kurla Complex to Acharya Atre Chowk.
The station was inaugurated under a naming rights agreement between Nippon India Mutual Fund and the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd. The five-year agreement grants Nippon India Mutual Fund exclusive branding rights, including the prefixing of its name to the station, branding within the station premises, and mentions in train announcements and station maps.
On 26 May 2025, the station experienced flooding due to intense monsoon rains, leading to the suspension of metro services along the affected stretch. The incident highlighted concerns regarding water management and drainage systems at the station.

Last-Mile Connectivity Initiatives

is planning the implementation of a network of subways to enhance last-mile connectivity for the Mumbai Metro. These subways are intended to directly link Metro stations with high-density commercial zones, suburban railway stations, and bus stops, providing commuters with seamless and weather-protected access.
These underground pedestrian links are designed to incorporate amenities such as escalators and elevators to ensure accessibility. A key component of this initiative includes a proposed 1-kilometer-long subway connecting this underground station to the Mahalaxmi Racecourse and the Coastal Road's parking facility at Haji Ali. This specific subway plan also features a 160-meter branch arm intended to connect to adjacent open spaces. The MMRDA has indicated that pilot projects at select locations will precede a wider rollout of these connectivity solutions.
