Mumbai’s transport infrastructure is up for a significant boost with a wide-ranging set of projects planned across the suburban railway system, Metro network, and major road bridges. The initiatives aim to increase capacity, reduce congestion, and improve the overall commuting experience for millions of daily passengers.
On the Western Railway (WR), several capacity-enhancement works include the construction of a pit line at Bandra, the development of a new Jogeshwari Terminus, and the addition of a sixth line between Borivli and Virar. Mumbai Central will see improvements to its coaching complex apron, while Virar station is slated for a comprehensive makeover. WR is also preparing to induct new AC local rakes and extend 15-car train operations up to Dahanu. Charni Road, Marine Lines, Grant Road, Prabhadevi, Malad, and Jogeshwari Terminus stations are being redeveloped under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.
