CIDCO to hand over land for Airoli-Kalwa project

With CIDCO's agreement to transfer portions of land to the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC), the game-changing Airoli-Kalwa project—which would connect Navi Mumbai with the CR's Kalyan mainline—has gained major momentum. The engineering required for the project depends on this land.

According to Dr. Sanjay Mukherjee, vice chairman and managing director of CIDCO, "CIDCO has resolved to allot 1,261.65 sqm of land at the villages of Kalva & Digha to the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation Ltd. (MRVCL) for the Airoli-Kalwa double elevated railway corridor.

Officials from MRVC have confirmed that the project is still under progress. Additionally, they mentioned that the project will require relocation of about 1,067 households in order to make room for the train link. MMRDA has set aside 924 of these tenements for relief and rehabilitation. Direct trains from Vashi-Belapur to the Kalyan side will be possible thanks to the development of the elevated link.

The elevated Kalwa station will be built, complete with platforms, a ticket office, connecting foot under bridges, staircases and related infrastructure, and the train flyover will have a ballastless track. By creating a direct route between Airoli and Kalwa, traffic at Thane Junction will be less congested and commute times for people travelling from Navi Mumbai to the MMR region to Kalwa and beyond will be shorter.
