1. Orange Line Metro (Line 6) - targeting December 2026
The Kolkata Metro Orange Line connects Kavi Subhash (New Garia) to the airport via New Town, with a planned terminal close to AA-III. Completion is targeted for December 2026. Once operational, the airport commute from AA-III drops from ~52 minutes by road to ~22 minutes (~56 minutes total door-to-gate including check-in buffer) - a step-change for both end-users and investors.
