In the Railway budget, Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu has approved all the seven projects worth Rs 8,775 crore under Mumbai Urban Transport Project-III (MUTP-III) to improve the Mumbai’s railway infrastructure. However, by the time these reach completion the cost will have run up to Rs 11,441 crore.
Further under MUTP-III, 20 suburban stations will be developed at a total cost of Rs 1,950 crore which will have an integrated transportation system wherein there will be a separate area for autorickshaws and taxi parking. Also, these stations will have a better ticketing facility along with escalators, elevators and Foot Over Bridges (FOB). The phase-III will also take care of the trespassing at mid-section with construction of an FOB in between two stations.
The 20 stations are –
