The upgrade of Khar station is finally on, and almost 50 per cent of the work has been completed with a year’s deadline and major improvements that promise an elevated deck, an additional platform, and more bridges.

The development of the station can take the load off Bandra station, as Khar has already been linked to Bandra Terminus with a 314 m long and 4.4-m wide foot overbridge at a cost of Rs 4.55 crore by Western Railway. This FOB has been rebuilt on replacement account as per an IIT audit report, and with this, a total of 11 FOBs have been commissioned in the financial year 2022-23 between Churchgate and Dahanu Road, taking the total to 144.
