'''Bandra Colony''' is an underground metro station on the North-South corridor of the [[Aqua Line (Mumbai Metro)|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.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Government renames 11 station names on Metro Line 3 |url=https://www.hindustantimes.com/cities/mumbai-news/government-renames-11-station-names-on-metro-line-3-101727032719652.html |access-date=20 June 2025 |work=Hindustan Times |date=4 October 2024 |language=en}}</ref>
