Overview
- Prime Minister Narendra Modi will virtually inaugurate the corridor and passenger services will start on Wednesday, November 4th with operations from about 6:00 AM to 11:40 PM.
- Seventeen of the line’s 23 elevated stations will open initially while six stations remain closed for phased completion, with some due by late November and others by January 2027.
- Reported distance‑based fares range from ₹12 to ₹62 under the PPP concession but PMRDA will publish the official fare chart at stations before service begins.
- Line‑3 will run air‑conditioned three‑coach trains using CBTC signalling and a 750 V DC third rail, will draw roughly 30% of its power from 7.60 MW of solar, and all trains will be operated by about 100 women train pilots.
- Hours before the opening, rainwater leaked into Maan (PMR‑01) station; officials say a blocked terrace drainage pipe was cleared but the incident has prompted questions about waterproofing and final quality checks.
