Navi Mumbai Railway Stations to Be Transferred From CIDCO to CR Within Six Months

The maintenance and management of railway stations in Navi Mumbai that are currently under CIDCO are set to be handed over to Central Railway within the next six months, according to recent discussions between the two authorities.

The move comes after long-standing issues regarding poor upkeep, lack of coordination, and repeated complaints from commuters over station conditions. At present, several stations on the Harbour and Trans-Harbour lines are managed by CIDCO, but maintenance responsibilities have remained unclear due to unresolved administrative arrangements.

Officials have indicated that the transfer is aimed at resolving this deadlock and improving passenger facilities across key stations in Navi Mumbai. Once the handover is completed, Central Railway is expected to take full responsibility for maintenance, repairs, and overall station management.

The decision is also expected to speed up pending repair work and infrastructure upgrades, which have been delayed due to the division of responsibilities between CIDCO and the railways.

The process is likely to be completed in phases over the next six months, following which all affected stations will come under Central Railway’s direct control.
