Ghatkopar has experienced a surge in the crowd since the Metro 1 (Ghatkopar-Versova) was commissioned in August 2014. The elevated deck – 8.5-m wide and around 270m long – has been proposed over platform number one. Of the two FOBs that will come up on the north side, one will be 12-m wide and another 6-m wide.

The FOB's and connectors will help in decongestion and smooth passenger movement. Notably, MRVC has similar plans for Govandi, Mankhurd and GTB Nagar stations in Central Railway and Mumbai Central, Kandivali, Mira-Road and Khar stations in Western Railway.
