Kolkata Metro Line 3 is a line of the Kolkata Metro. As of 2020, the line is still under construction. The route spans Template:Convert from Joka in the south, to Esplanade in the north with an extension of 2 km to Diamond Park from Joka.

Line 3 is being built by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited.

Development

It is partially elevated and partially underground: around Template:Convert of the project will be elevated and the rest Template:Convert of the metro line will be underground. The project is getting delayed due to non availability of land for the construction of train depot at Joka.

Tenders for its construction and plant & machinery (M&P) were invited in April 2020.

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.
