In preparation for the Ganpati visarjan festivities, the Aqua Line Metro in Mumbai will extend its operational hours to run throughout the night on September 25. This initiative is aimed at facilitating the movement of devotees participating in the immersion processions that traditionally occur on Anant Chaturdashi. The decision comes as part of the city's efforts to ensure smooth transportation during one of the most celebrated festivals in Maharashtra.
The immersion processions are expected to attract large crowds, and the all-night metro service will provide a crucial transportation option for those attending the events. The extended hours will help alleviate congestion and enable easier access to key immersion sites across the city. The Aqua Line Metro, known for its efficiency, will play a vital role in supporting the festive spirit.
- All-night service — Aqua Line Metro will operate continuously on September 25 to accommodate devotees.
- Special suburban services — Central Railway will run 22 additional night services on Main and Harbour lines.

In addition to the Aqua Line Metro, the Central Railway has announced plans to operate 22 special suburban train services on the Main and Harbour lines. This move is expected to further enhance connectivity for commuters traveling to and from the immersion sites. The combination of metro and suburban train services will provide a comprehensive transportation solution during this festive period.
