Railway Network

 

If anything can be called the lifeline of Navi Mumbai, it's the city's suburban railway network. It's a unique rail project involving CIDCO and Indian Railways, with CIDCO and Railways sharing the expenditure on a ratio of 67:33. The rail network has been planned in such a way that all stations have walkable access from residential areas. Convenient interchange facility has been provided from one corridor to another. Every station provides double discharge platforms. Covering a length of 200 km and occupying 900 hectares of land, the network is planned with 6 separate corridors and 30 stations.

All the stations on the Vashi-Panvel and Vashi-Thane are distinctly designed making them architectural marvels. Every station has forecourt area with multi-modal transit facility. The floor-space above the railway line has been commercially utilised. The rail corridors in Navi Mumbai are:

  1. Mankhurd-Belapur-Panvel (complete)

  2. Thane-Turbhe-Nerul / Vashi (complete)

  3. Belapur / Nerul-Uran (partly complete)

  4. Panvel-Uran (planned)

CIDCO wrote a new chapter on 9th May 1992 when Hon. President, Shri. R. Venkataraman, flagged off the first train between Mankhurd and Vashi to mark the opening of the Thane Creek railway bridge constructed jointly by the Indian Railway and CIDCO. Till date Mankhurd, being the dead end of land, was the Harbour Line Terminus. The Mankhurd - Panvel rail corridor connects Navi Mumbai with Mumbai. The 29- km corridor is one of the milestones in the development of Navi Mumbai. The corridor was extended in phased manner; February 1993 upto Nerul, in June 1993 upto Belapur and by 29th June 1998 upto Panvel.
