Western Railway plans to remodel Bandra Terminus connectivity

29 Sep 2021 CW Team

The Western Railway is working on a plan to redevelop the Bandra Terminus, which will include remodelling of land in the east, connecting it with the terminus and the west.

The Bandra Terminus redevelopment project is a part of the Indian Railways Station Development Corporation's plan.

It will include the stretch between Bandra and Khar stations, including the staff quarters land and the tracks laid to park outstation trains.

The project is likely to see the construction of multi-storeyed buildings to accommodate commercial offices, a four or five-star hotel, or even residential buildings.

A senior railways official told the media that the project would generate revenue for the railways. The official said that no final plan has been laid out. The railway authorities are planning to build a road overbridge to connect the east with SV Road on the west.

Plans are also in place to develop new suburban platforms for the Harbour line. This will ensure space is created to operate outstation trains right from Mumbai Central Terminus on the fifth and sixth track.

Authorities have started working to shift the Harbour line and build piers next to the existing elevated rail bridge between Bandra and Khar stations.
