  4. These tracks will also enable introduction of 36 new suburban trains<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi will dedicate to the Nation two additional railway lines connecting Thane and Diva on 18th February, 2025 at 4:30 PM via video conferencing. He will also flag off two suburban trains of the Mumbai Suburban Railway, followed by his address on the occasion.<\/p>\n

    Kalyan is the main junction of Central Railway. The traffic coming from North side and Southern side of the country merge at Kalyan and moves towards CSMT (Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus). Out of the four tracks between Kalyan and CSTM, two tracks were used for slow local trains and two tracks for fast local, Mail Express and Goods trains. To segregate suburban and long distance trains, two additional tracks were planned.<\/p>\n

    The two additional railway lines connecting Thane and Diva have been built at the approx cost of Rs 620 crores and features 1.4 km long rail flyover, 3 major bridges, 21 minor bridges. These lines will significantly remove the interference of long distance train\u2019s traffic with suburban train\u2019s traffic in Mumbai. These lines will also enable the introduction of 36 new suburban trains in the city.<\/p>\n

    On February 18, 2025<\/strong>, Prime Minister Narendra Modi virtually inaugurated two additional railway lines<\/strong> between Thane and Diva<\/strong> (part of Mumbai\u2019s Central Railway under the MUTP 2B project), and also flagged off two new suburban trains<\/strong> of the Mumbai Suburban Railway via video conferencing<\/p>\n

    \ud83d\ude89 Details of the Event:<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • The new infrastructure comprised the fifth and sixth railway lines<\/strong> between Thane and Diva.<\/li>\n
    • Built at a cost of \u20b9620\u202fcrore<\/strong>, the project included a 1.4\u202fkm flyover<\/strong>, three major bridges<\/strong>, and 21 minor bridges<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • One of the main goals was to segregate suburban train traffic from long-distance and goods traffic<\/strong>, improving punctuality and capacity. This enabled the introduction of 36 new local train services<\/strong>, including AC locals, serving over 17 lakh commuters daily<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      \u2728 Significance:<\/h3>\n
        \n
      • This was a milestone for Mumbai\u2019s suburban network, improving service reliability, reducing congestion, and expanding capacity along a crucial corridor.<\/li>\n
      • The launches were part of broader infrastructure upgrades, facilitating future additions of 80\u2013100 local train services<\/strong> between CSMT\u2013Kalyan\/Karjat and Kasara by year-end<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        If you’re interested, I can share the specific names or numbers of those two flagged\u2011off suburban trains (if available), or provide an update on how that corridor has evolved since then.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
