Chikhloli, a proposed new station on Mumbai's suburban rail network, got its formal identity and location on Monday. As per a Central Railway notification, the station will be located at 64.17 km from CSMT.

In March 2019, the railway board had sanctioned Chikhloli to be opened as a 'halt station', a basic station used for brief train halts. Locals had welcomed the decision saying it would alleviate the troubles of commuters between the crowded Ambernath and Badlapur stations.
