Railways has begun the process of building the long-awaited Chikhloli station between Ambernath and Badlapur. The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) on Wednesday floated tenders worth R81.93 crore for the construction of a new suburban railway station along with other allied works at Chikhloli in connection with the proposed third and fourth line between the Kalyan and Badlapur stations of the Mumbai Division Central Railway. 

The construction of the station received a nod from the ministry of railways in 2019 and the MRVC had finalised a concept for two additional 14-km lines between Kalyan and Badlapur, which includes the new station, segregated under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project 3-A (MUTP 3-A) at a cost of around Rs 1,510 crore.
