Railway Project

The development plan of Navi Mumbai provides for network of commuter railway system to give easy access to commercial, residential and industrial areas in Navi Mumbai. As per study conducted it is seen that electric based suburban railway system would be the most economical system of transport for the envisaged population and employment in Navi Mumbai. CIDCO has therefore taken up development work of different railway corridors so as to have integrated pattern of railway network and the land use for balance development of Navi Mumbai. The commuter railway system envisaged in the development plan provides for six corridors. The total length of Railway Corridors is about 160 kms.

CIDCO constructed and commissioned the Mankhurd – Vashi, the extended harbourline, in May 1992 and further extended up to Belapur in June 1993. The Belapur – Panvel Corridor was commissioned in June 1998. On the trans-harbour line Thane-Vashi corridor has been commissioned in November 2004.

All these Projects, including Nerul & Belapur-Uran corridor, have been executed on cost sharing basis between Indian Railways, CIDCO & State Government. Indian Railways, besides providing all technical support, bore 33% of the total development cost and the rest 67% was incurred by CIDCO and the State Government.
