Beneath the city,
we engineer clarity
How Diasen’s acoustic plaster brought calm and clarity to Mumbai Metro’s underground stations
The Urban Echo Problem
As India’s financial capital grew vertically, Mumbai went underground with Line 3 of the Metro connecting 19 stations beneath the city. While the engineering was flawless, one issue echoed across the stations: sound reflections that made public announcements hard to understand.
Why Echo Matters in Transit Spaces
Without acoustic treatment, ceilings near PA systems caused reverberations. In an emergency or during peak hours, this could mean confusion, miscommunication, and commuter discomfort.
The Solution: Diasen Acoustic Plaster
The Mumbai Metro Rail Corporation required a solution that was non-combustible, long-lasting, and aesthetically adaptable to underground architecture. Diasen was chosen for its superior acoustic performance and fire-safe formulation.
Project Highlights
- Application: 19 stations across Line 3
- Material: Diasen Diathonite Acoustix
- Function: Sound absorption on curved and flat ceiling surfaces
- Compliance: MMRCL technical qualification norms
The Result
A smoother, quieter transit experience. Diasen’s invisible acoustic layer helped Mumbai Metro deliver communication clarity where it matters most underground, in motion, and in moments that count.
Commuters now experience clearer announcements and reduced noise levels even during peak hours.
