Borivli may not have driverless trains like London or Tokyo, but it has now entered the same global league as some of the world’s most complex urban rail hubs when it comes to train operations. With the commissioning of the Siemens Westrace MK-II interlocking system, Borivli now operates Mumbai’s largest and most advanced signalling setup.

The station has replaced its ageing relay-based system with the largest Electronic Interlocking (EI) network in the Mumbai suburban railway. The new system controls 381 train routes, manages 90 track points across seven running lines and is operated through dual 65-inch 8K display screens.
