WR To Open Jogeshwari Long-Distance Rail Terminus

26 Dec 2025 CW Team

Western Railway is set to commission Mumbai’s fourth long-distance railway terminus at Jogeshwari, with Phase I expected to become operational by June 2026 and the full facility scheduled for completion by March 2027, according to a report.

The new terminus, estimated to cost Rs 764.8 million, is aimed at reducing congestion at heavily crowded stations such as Dadar, Mumbai Central and Bandra Terminus.

The facility is being developed at the existing auxiliary terminal yard in Jogeshwari, which is currently used only for stabling trains and does not cater to passenger services. Once fully operational, the terminus will be integrated into Mumbai’s long-distance rail network and is expected to handle up to 24 trains daily after the completion of both phases.

The project was originally slated for completion in December 2024 but faced delays due to site-related challenges and contractual issues.

Under Phase I, Western Railway has approved the development of a coaching terminal with two passenger platforms—one on the station side and another located between tracks—allowing three long-distance trains to be operated simultaneously. After commissioning, the terminal is expected to handle 12 pairs of long-distance trains each day.

Phase II of the project, approved under Western Railway’s 2024–25 umbrella plan, will include the addition of another passenger platform, two more tracks and supporting infrastructure such as a pit line and shunting neck. These upgrades are intended to enable smoother train operations and improved capacity.

With the completion of Phase II by March 2027, the Jogeshwari terminus is expected to handle around 24 long-distance trains daily, significantly strengthening Mumbai’s rail infrastructure.
