A 1930 benchmark for the world heritage site of Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT) and a railopolis hub at Thakurli Terminus for Kalyan - this is how the railway station redevelopment plans for Mumbai intend to be taken ahead.

Making these announcements on Wednesday, the managing director and chief executive officer of Indian Railway Station Redevelopment Corporation (ISRDC), Sanjeev Kumar, said there was a plan to remodel Mumbai CSMT to its 1930s look and a new terminus hub has been planned on railway land near Kalyan, which will be called “railopolis”, on the lines of metropolis, which one could live, play, work and ride.
