The Mumbai rail upgrade project has attracted eight competitive bids from leading infrastructure companies, signalling strong industry interest in the city’s transport modernisation drive. The project aims to enhance capacity, improve safety, and reduce travel times for millions of daily commuters.

The scope of work includes track renewal, signalling upgrades, station modernisation, and the introduction of advanced passenger amenities. Officials said the project is part of a broader plan to transform Mumbai’s suburban rail network into a faster, more reliable, and efficient system.
