Panvel-Karjat Suburban Railway Corridor Project picks up pace

The Panvel-Karjat Suburban Railway Corridor, a significant project under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP-III), is nearing its completion.

The project, which is being executed by the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC), is expected to greatly improve connectivity between Panvel and Karjat, becoming a vital component of the expanding suburban railway network in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR).

As of October, 67% of the project, with a budget of Rs 27.82 billion, has been completed.

The necessary 56.82 hectare of private land and 4.4 hectare of government land required for the corridor have been successfully acquired.

Permits for Stage-I forest clearance have been secured, and work is already progressing in forested areas. The Stage-II clearance is also advancing, with approvals nearing completion.

Earthworks for the project are in progress, with 2 million cubic metres of filling already completed.

The project has also achieved breakthroughs for all three tunnels, with over 3,100 metres of underground excavation completed. Lining work is simultaneously on-going.

Of the 47 bridges planned, 29 minor and six major bridges have been completed.

Additionally, four road overbridges (ROBs) are ready, and there has been significant progress on key structures at Mohape and Kirawali.
