Mira Road station to get a makeover by Dec 2025

04 Jul 2023 CW Team

The Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has undertaken a significant project to improve the infrastructure of Mira Road station. With an estimated total cost of Rs 90 crore, the station redevelopment initiative aims to enhance passenger experience and accommodate the ever-increasing footfall at this suburban hub. The work is currently in full swing and is expected to be completed by December 2025.

The revamp plan includes wider foot over bridges, additional escalators, lifts, and wider platforms.

Sunil Udasi, Chief Public Relations Officer of MRVC said, “Due to the continuous operation of train services during the day, the work can only be carried out during limited hours at night. Despite these constraints, we will strive to complete the project and give a facelift to the station by the end of December 2025.”

The specific plan includes widening platform number one from 6 m to 10 m, constructing a 240-m-long and 10.50-m-wide deck over platform number one, and provides five escalators and three lifts. Additionally, a 10-m-wide and 65-m-long foot over bridge will be constructed, along with a 23-m-wide and 50-m-long foot over bridge. The project also involves constructing office spaces for the station manager, deputy station manager, other miscellaneous offices and a lounge, said a MRVC official.
