Kolkata Metro Line 3

It is partially elevated and partially underground: around 8.5 kilometres (5.3 mi) of the project will be elevated and the rest 6.32 kilometres (3.93 mi) of the metro line will be underground.[3] The project is getting delayed due to non availability of land for the construction of train depot at Joka. In 2019, RVNL was given the land required for building the depot and the construction for its boundary wall and land development started in February 2019.[5] Tenders for its construction and plant & machinery (M&P) were invited in April 2020.[6]

Construction was further delayed in September 2018 due to the Majerhat Bridge collapse, the metro was being built right next to the bridge.

Tender for Majherhat to Esplanade underground section has been floated in 1st week of December 2019.

The work has been sanctioned in 2010-11 for the new Metro line from Joka to B.B.D. Bagh for a length of 16.72 km at an anticipated cost of Rs. 2619.02 Crores. But, later the route was shortened and planned to terminate at Esplanade. A separate Depot is under construction in Joka. It is being built by RVNL and the tender has gone to Simplex Infrastructures. The extension of this line to IIM and Diamond Park for 2 km has been sanctioned in the Budget of 2012-13 at a cost of Rs. 294.49 Cr. The execution of this work has been entrusted to RVNL.

There are 3 phases in this line-

• Joka to Majerhat (Under construction)
• Majerhat to Esplanade (After completion of phase 1)
• Joka to Diamond park (After completion of phase 2)
