In the future passengers de-boarding at Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) will be able to proceed directly to Crawford Market.
The Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC) will build a passenger deck connecting the suburban platforms to Crawford Market and the terminus' outstation train platforms, making this possible.
Passengers must either disembark at CSMT and walk to the market or disembark at Masjid Bunder and take a taxi.
The plan is a part of IRSDC's redevelopment project for CSMT. Minister of State for Railways Raosaheb Danve called a review meeting with officials from the IRSDC, the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA), the Central Railway (CR) and the Mumbai Port Trust on Tuesday.
A multi-model hub for metro and harbour railway interchange is also being planned at the station's P D'Mello entrance, as well as an extension of the eastern freeway.
The redevelopment of CSMT will be carried out under the public-private partnership (PPP) model and will cost Rs 1,642 crore. It is anticipated to begin in December and to be completed by 2025.
Inside the terminus, the redevelopment plan will include the construction of commercial spaces, such as restaurants and cafes, as well as passenger parking.
The use of interconnecting decks to separate outstation and local train passenger movements is also planned. As part of the redevelopment, the harbour railway platforms will be relocated to the P D'Mello entrance of the terminus.
Meanwhile, Danve took a local train from CSMT to Dadar on Tuesday and inspected passenger facilities at the Dadar and Matunga railway stations.
Danve flagged off a Konkan bound train that had been booked on Full Tariff Rate (FTR) at Dadar railway station.
