MRVC Unveils New Elevated Deck at Nalasopara Station

05 Aug 2025 CW Team

The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has completed a 95-metre-long and 11.5-metre-wide elevated deck at Platform Number One of Nalasopara station, a critical infrastructure upgrade designed to ease passenger flow.

This elevated structure links the two southernmost foot overbridges (FOBs), significantly reducing crowding and enhancing commuter movement at one of the Western Line’s busiest stations. Nalasopara handles over 183,000 passengers and 440 suburban trains daily. The addition is expected to greatly improve safety and convenience for users.

The initiative forms part of a broader redevelopment plan under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) 3A. Upcoming upgrades at Nalasopara include another elevated deck connecting all platforms, a new platform on the western side, four more escalators, and three lifts.

Sunil G Udasi, Chief Public Relations Officer, MRVC, remarked, “This is a big step towards reimagining Mumbai’s suburban railway experience. We’re not just reducing congestion, but also building safer and more accessible stations for all.”

Nalasopara is one of 17 stations being redeveloped under MUTP 3A, which has a total investment of around Rs 9.47 billion. Upgrades are also ongoing at seven other Western Line stations—including Kandivali, Mira Road, Bhayander, and Vasai—and ten on the Central and Harbour Lines.

Each redeveloped station will benefit from improved access points, modern ticketing facilities, enhanced lighting, upgraded security, new FOBs, lifts, and escalators, providing a more comfortable and efficient commuting experience for Mumbai’s growing suburban rail users.
