The Mumbai CSMT redevelopment project has got a major boost, as the Central Railway has received a nod from the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation's (BMC) Heritage Committee for it. Almost after 120 years, the UNESCO-listed world heritage site will be redeveloped into a 21st century multimodal integration hub, and the station restored to its glory of the 1930s.

Railway officials said that the redevelopment plan has multiple layers of inspection and sanctions, and there won’t be any loss of heritage. The plan also includes segregation of arriving and departing passengers, and turning it a divyang-friendly station with better services.
