The Panvel Terminus project received a boost as work on the remodelling of its yards has been expedited, with a final deadline set for December 2026. The terminus work has been combined with that of the Kalamboli yard, which will create more space for train operations. This will not only enhance the station’s capacity but also enable trains to originate from there.

Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw visited the site on Tuesday and conducted a detailed inspection and review of the ongoing yard remodelling work. During his visit, the minister announced that Panvel station will be developed into a terminal station for long-distance trains, marking a significant step forward in the strategic enhancement of rail infrastructure in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region.
