It is facelift time for Mumbai’s lifeline as the Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (ISRDC) along with other agencies has started working on redeveloping train stations across the city. The first comprehensive makeover will be at Andheri station. The Western suburban hub sees extremely dense commuter traffic, though pandemic guidelines have put the brakes on that temporarily.

Plans for a concourse, greater last-mile connectivity, foot overbridges (FOBs) are all part of the station revamp plans. As we go along, we will see how the entire plan unfolds and we have hopefully, a new-age station that makes commuting much more comfortable. When we undertake these facelifts, they also improve the overall mental and physical health of the lakhs that use this facility every single day.
