Mumbai railway infrastructure maintenance

Overview

Mumbai railway authorities have implemented several service disruptions to facilitate infrastructure maintenance and expansion projects.

In early September 2026, Central Railway initiated a 15-day period of traffic and power blocks to expand platforms at Titwala station. Subsequent mega blocks in mid-September impacted the Main Line between Thane and Kalyan, as well as the Trans-Harbour Line. On September 20, 2026, maintenance on the 5th and 6th lines between Thane and Kalyan caused diversions for several mail and express trains and led to the suspension of MEMU services between Diva and Kopar.

On October 1, 2026, a 75-day traffic and power block commenced at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) for structural work by the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), affecting Platforms 14 and 15 through December 15. This resulted in several long-distance trains being short-terminated at Dadar or Thane.

On October 18, 2026, Central Railway’s Mumbai Division scheduled another mega block. On the main line, work between Thane and Kalyan from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM to facilitate fifth and sixth line maintenance will cause diversions for mail and express trains, such as the Solapur-CSMT Vande Bharat Express and the Howrah-CSMT Mumbai Mail, with potential delays of 10 to 15 minutes. Disruptions are also expected on the Panvel-Vashi section of the Harbor and Trans-Harbor lines, while MEMU services between Diva and Kopar will face interruptions and short-terminations at Kopar station.
