Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis on Friday announced the approval of additional suburban train services on the Uran route, calling it a “special gift for Mumbaikars”.
Sharing a letter received from the Ministry of Railways, the Chief Minister thanked Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw for accepting his request to enhance local train connectivity in the region.
A total of 10 new suburban services have been sanctioned on the port line route. These include:
Nerul–Uran–Nerul: 4 services
The number of services increased from 40 to 50, benefiting passengers with more convenient, faster, and easier travel. The increase in service timings:
• From Uran: Morning 5:35 (first) to night 10:05 (last)
• From Belapur: Morning 5:45 to night 10:15
• From Nerul: Morning 6:05 to night 9:30
In his post on X, Fadnavis said the move would significantly benefit daily commuters and make travel easier for people living in Navi Mumbai and surrounding areas. The approval also includes stoppages at Targhar and Gavhan stations, which have been long-standing demands of local passengers.
