The Indian Green Building Council (IGBC), part of the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII), has presented a green building certification plaque to the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation Ltd (MMRCL) for five stations on Mumbai Metro Line 3, recognising the project’s focus on sustainable infrastructure, resource efficiency and environmentally responsible development.
The five stations covered under UGC Package No. 3 are Jagannath Shankarshet Metro (Mumbai Central), Mahalaxmi Metro, Science Centre, Acharya Atre Chowk and Worli.
UGC Package No. 3 was executed by Dogussoma, with GreenTree serving as the green building consultant. The certification highlights the project’s efforts to integrate sustainability into large-scale urban transport infrastructure while promoting accessibility, resource conservation and improved environmental performance.
A spokesperson for MMRCL said, “Sustainability has been an integral part of the development of Mumbai Metro Line 3. The green certification of these five stations is a recognition of our efforts to integrate resource efficiency, environmental responsibility and sustainable practices into the project. We are committed to developing a metro network that not only enables efficient urban mobility but also contributes to a greener, more resilient and future-ready Mumbai.”
Mumbai Metro Line 3, which connects the Colaba–Bandra–SEEPZ corridor, comprises 27 stations, including 26 underground stations and one at-grade station.
With the addition of these five stations, IGBC has certified 16 MMRCL stations so far in 2026, reflecting the metro corporation’s continued focus on incorporating green infrastructure and sustainable practices across Mumbai’s expanding metro network.
Chitranjan Kaushik, Chairman of the IGBC Mumbai Chapter, said, “Mumbai’s metro network is an important enabler of sustainable urban development. The green certification of these five Line 3 stations demonstrates how large-scale transport infrastructure can integrate resource efficiency, environmental responsibility and multimodal connectivity. IGBC is pleased to recognise MMRCL’s continued commitment to building a greener and more resilient Mumbai.”
