**Job Summary**

An AECOM led consortium has been appointed as the General Consultant for the Mumbai Metro Line 3 project by the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation, India.

The 33.5-km long line will be the first underground metro line in Mumbai. The metro line will connect Cuffe Parade business district in the extreme south of the city to SEEPZ in the north-central with 26 underground and one at-grade station. The track width is standard gauge. This line, when completed by 2020 will provide a much needed relief to commuters as it is expected to reduce road congestion, besides reducing the load on the Western Line between Bandra and Churchgate.

At US$ 3.8 billion estimated project cost, this is the biggest consultancy contract awarded to any consultancy consortium in India.
