  • Initiating the Kalyan Yard remodelling project and the Gati Shakti Multi Modal Cargo Terminal in Navi Mumbai. The Kalyan Yard remodelling will help segregate suburban and long-distance train traffic, improving punctuality and efficiency.[1]
  • Dedicating new platforms at Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) and extending platforms 10 and 11 at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT). This will allow for longer trains and increased passenger capacity.[1][3]
