Kalyan-Badlapur lines 52% complete; Borivali-Virar at 30%

Many people take trains in Mumbai, and the tracks are often very crowded.

To fix this, workers are building new train tracks.

One project is between Kalyan and Badlapur, where two new lines are being added.

It is about halfway done.

Another project is adding two lines between Borivali and Virar.

That one is about thirty percent done.

The new tracks will help more trains run, especially when people are going to work.

They will also give long-distance trains their own tracks, so local and long-distance trains do not get in each other's way.

The projects cost over three thousand crore rupees in total and should be finished between 2028 and 2029.
