In a first-of-its-kind experiment on the Mumbai suburban railway, a platform escalator from Mira Road station has been moved 26 km away to Mahim as a part of the station renovation project. The newly-installed escalator at Mahim was inaugurated locally on Friday morning.

The Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) is currently working on an upgrade of Mira Road station,  which will have new infrastructure, including a wider platform one; wider, linked foot overbridges; an elevated deck; and new escalators.
