Bandra Colony is an underground metro station on the North-South corridor of the Aqua Line 3 of Mumbai Metro in Mumbai, India. It was opened to public on 7 October 2024.

History

In 2024, the Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation renamed several stations along Metro Aqua Line 3 (Colaba–Bandra–SEEPZ) to better reflect the local geography and cultural context. As part of this initiative, the station initially named Vidyanagari was officially renamed to Bandra Colony. The change was approved by the Union Government ahead of the partial commencement of operations on the Aqua Line in October 2024. The renaming aimed to align station names with the surrounding localities and improve commuter clarity, especially in areas with overlapping transit infrastructure.[2]
