An extended shed constructed by a restaurant next to Dombivli station's platform 1-A is set to make way for faster trains. The Central Railway (CR) plans to propose an overall alteration of Dombivli station to speed up the entry and exit of trains.

A senior official said CR is working on the proposal to remove the shed that necessitates a speed caution order. Other features of the proposal include converting platform no. 2 into a terminating station and easing a sharp curve — which necessitates speed limits — on the northern end of platform no. 1-A. In addition, the length of the platform will also be reduced slightly. The platforms' redesigning will lead to trains exiting and entering at faster speeds.
