In a significant development for the long-awaited Naigaon-Juchandra railway connectivity project, a key environmental hurdle may be nearing resolution, potentially paving the way for the proposed 5.73-km double-line railway corridor linking the Western and Central Railway networks in Palghar district.

The project once completed will enable direct trains from stations of Western Railway like Mumbai Central and Borivali to down south via Konkan Railway and Kerala.
