The long-pending expansion of the Sawantwadi Railway Terminus has come under renewed focus, with the Konkan Railway Pravasi Sanghatana (KRPAS) urging the Union Railway Ministry to include the project in the third Financial Restructuring Package of Konkan Railway Corporation Limited (KRCL).

In a representation to Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, KRPAS vice-president Sagar Talwadekar sought immediate intervention to provide dedicated capital funding for the development of additional railway infrastructure at Sawantwadi.
