[6] [6] [6] The Bandra Kurla Complex metro station, as part of Mumbai Metro Line 3, has had a significant impact on the surrounding real estate markets. According to Fortune India , rents along the newly operational “BKC–Worli” corridor rose by up to 2.37% within one month of opening—Mahim at 2.37%, Sion at 1.78%, Dadar at 1.47%, Worli at 1.32% and Prabhadevi at 1.06%. Rents in Santacruz increased by 2.15%, while BKC itself rose by 1.78% in the same period. [7]
A Hindustan Times analysis highlights that connecting BKC and Worli, two of India’s most expensive real estate hubs, via Metro Line 3 (Phase 2) is expected to spur further growth in South and Central Mumbai property values. Per-square-foot apartment rates currently range from ₹45,000 to ₹160,000, driven by the metro connectivity and urban redevelopment expert opinion. [8] The same report noted that while ultra-high-net-worth individuals may prefer the Coastal Road, the metro line will benefit middle-tier professionals and fuel redevelopment projects in areas such as Worli, Dadar and Mahim.

Experts from Colliers India anticipate a 10–15% rise in both residential and commercial property values along the metro corridor over the next few years, including areas like Santacruz, Andheri East, Prabhadevi, Chembur, Kurla and Dadar [9]
Commercial real estate analysts, including Knight Frank, expect increased leasing demand in older business districts like Nariman Point, with office space rentals potentially doubling by 2030, driven in part by Metro Line 3 and related transit infrastructure [8]
