What was announced as a major relief for commuters on the Uran suburban line has instead triggered confusion and anger, with passengers alleging that revised train timings introduced from December 15, 2025, have disrupted daily travel on the Uran-Nerul and Uran-Belapur routes.
On this line, the Central Railway recently increased services by 10 additional trains, citing the need to support shift-based commuters and upcoming operations at the Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA). However, commuters say the execution has left them struggling, especially on the first day of implementation when updated schedules were not reflected on the M-Indicator app.
