Client:
Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) has been striving to strengthen the mass transport network and improve the travel quality i.e. Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP) was set up as a continuation of the Bombay Urban Transport Project (BUTP) under which Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation Ltd. (MRVC) a joint venture of Ministry of Railways and Govt. of Maharashtra was set up for implementation of rail related projects.
In the third phase of MUTP, a fast corridor on Harbour Line connecting CST and Panvel and new suburban lines between Virar to Panvel are envisaged. While the new double line corridor proposed between Virar-Panvel would facilitate introduction of suburban services in this potential-growth area, the additional tracks with fast running air conditioned trains in CSTM-Panvel would be an option for the existing and upcoming developments. These services will also facilitate better connectivity to proposed International Navi Mumbai Airport.
