The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) has made significant progress on infrastructure works at Badlapur railway station to enhance commuter safety, improve passenger amenities, and support the proposed 3rd and 4th railway lines between Kalyan and Badlapur, an official statement said.
Several key facilities have already been commissioned to improve passenger movement and control trespassing. These include a 330-metre-long home platform, opened in February 2024, a 6-metre-wide Foot Over Bridge (FOB) at the Karjat end, opened in December 2022, connecting all platforms for east-west access and two new 12-metre-wide FOBs, opened in March and June 2025.
Construction is ongoing for an elevated deck connecting both 12-metre-wide FOBs over platforms 1 and 2. A major portion of the deck was commissioned in March 2025, and the remaining section is now under construction following the removal of an old middle FOB, the official statement said.
Recent milestone
During a six-hour night block from 13-14 December 2025, MRVC successfully launched all 17 remaining girders, including major cross girders, for the elevated deck. The work involved 40 personnel, a 150-tonne crane, and two 15-tonne Faranas. Despite congested site conditions, the work was completed safely and efficiently, the official statement said.
Passenger facilities in progress
MRVC is gradually improving passenger convenience across platforms:
- Platform 1: Four staircases and one escalator operational; one lift and an additional escalator planned.
- Platform 2: Three staircases and two escalators functional; one lift and one more staircase to follow.
- Platform 3: Three staircases operational; two escalators to be added within 30-40 days, with a lift and two more escalators later.
Additional facilities, such as a new booking office and public toilet at the Kalyan end of Platform 1, are expected to be completed in six to seven months.
Future plans
MRVC also plans to build another 6-metre-wide FOB at the Kalyan end, connecting public skywalks for seamless commuter movement. A new skywalk, elevated booking office, station building, and circulating area are planned as part of the 3rd and 4th line works, the statement said.
All ongoing works are scheduled for completion within 5-6 months, with additional line-related projects to be finished alongside the commissioning of the new railway lines, it said.
