MUMBAI: Central Railway may get a major boost as Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC)
has proposed allocation of funds for augmentation of tracks on the
overcrowded Kalyan-Karjat and Kalyan-Kasara routes so that additional
services can be run to cater to the increasing population in that belt.
But it will come at the cost of the Western Railway, as the authorities have decided to scrap the elevated corridor between Bandra-Virar.
Beyond Kalyan, the track bifurcates into two routes, of which one ends at CST-Khopoli (south-east) and another at Kasara (north-east). Beyond Kalyan, the tracks are double line. The tracks caters to suburban, long-distance and freight trains. There are 214 services operating between Kalyan-Khopoli and 147 between Kalyan-Kasara in the Up and Down directions.
MRVC chairman and managing director Prabhati Sahai said, "There is a need for more services in areas north of Kalyan, like Badalpur, Ambernath, Asangaon and Titwala.. We have proposed quadrupling of tracks between Kalyan-Asangaon and Kalyan-Badlapur."
Sahai said, "We will have to build only one more line between Kalyan-Asangaon as work on the third line is already being carried out up to Kasara. But two more lines will have to be constructed between Kalyan-Ambernath. It will not cost more than Rs 3,000 crore."
Sahai felt there was no need to lay additional lines north of Asangaon or Badalpur as destinations beyond these stations do not have many commuters.
The distance between Kalyan-Asangaon is 32km and Kalyan-Badlapur is 14km. An MRVC official said, "There will be capacity augmentation by at least 30-40% as two tracks will be available exclusively for suburban trains."
Work on laying the third line between Kalyan-Kasara is already under way. The Kalyan-Kasara route caters to trains that ply towards Nashik, North and Eastern India. Several freight trains also operate on this route.
The fifth and sixth corridors exist between Kurla-Thane and Diva-Kalyan, and MRVC has begun laying the fifth and sixth lines between Thane-Diva. But work to take these lines from Kurla to CST is yet to begin. Once executed, Express and goods trains will have an exclusive corridor.

Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train: Fare, distance, route, and other fast facts
Piyush Goyal, new Railway Minister has
said that the work on India’s first high-speed train popularly known as
‘bullet train’ will kick-start on September 14 with a foundation stone
laying ceremony in Ahmedabad. Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Japanese
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe will on Thursday lay the foundation stone. The
bullet train technology would “revolutionise and transform the
transport sector. It will benefit the farmers for transportation of
agricultural produce in a fast mode.
The high-speed rail was envisioned by PM
Modi to take Indian Railways towards most modern technologies like the
developed countries. With Indian Railways adopting such technologies,
the bullet train was an endeavour to bring economic growth and
prosperity in the country. The 508-km Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail
Project will entail an estimated cost of Rs. 1,10,000 crore. However,
Abe has indicated Japan, is expected to sign as many as 10 memorandums
of understandings. It is also expected Japan will increase its
investment into Gujarat from present $1 billion to $3 billion.
The project will be based on Japan’s
Shinkansen high-speed rail technology and Japan is also providing a soft
loan of 880 bln rupees, accounting for 81% of the total estimated
project cost of 1.08 trln rupees. The soft loan has been provided at a
rate of interest of 0.1% per annum with a repayment period of 50 years,
which includes a grace period of 15 years. High-speed railway is a
railway system wherein the running speed of trains is 250 km per hour or
above. India was a lone exception among major passenger railway systems
not to have a high-speed railway system. Travel time between Mumbai and
Ahmedabad on the high-speed rail link is estimated between two and
three hours versus the travel time by train of seven to eight hours at
present. The length of the rail corridor will be around 508 km and it
will have 12 stations.
The details of the train are being
worked out by officials from the ministry of Railways. According to
sources, the Railways has planned to run two types of bullet trains on
the basis of their speed. The high-speed train will halt at all ten
stations on the proposed high-speed corridor between Mumbai and
Ahmedabad, while the rapid high-speed train will halt only at major
stations. According to the initial proposal, the high-speed train will
take 2.58 hours to reach the destination, and the rapid high-speed will
cover the distance in 2.07 hours. The high-speed train will also pass
through the country’s biggest tunnel of 21 km, of which seven km will be
under the sea. Of the 508-km stretch, 92 per cent of the route will be
elevated, six per cent in tunnel and the rest two per cent will be on
the ground. That is, 508 km stretch will have 468 km of elevated track,
27 km inside tunnel and the remaining 13 km on the ground.
On the other hand, the fare structure of
the bullet train is yet to be finalised, but according to officials
from the National High-Speed Rail Corporation (NHSRC), it will be 1.5
times the first class AC fare of trains running on the Mumbai-Ahmedabad
route. The fare of a first class ticket between Mumbai to Ahmedabad
ranges between Rs 1,800 to Rs 3,000. Thus, the fare structure of the
bullet train is expected to range anywhere between Rs 3,000 and Rs
5,000, depending on their speed. On the Ahmedabad-Mumbai route, total 12
stations have been proposed that include Mumbai, Thane, Virar, Boisar,
Vapi, Bilimora, Surat, Bharuch, Vadodara, Anand, Ahmedabad and
Sabarmati. And, if the bullet train will stop at all 12 stations, then
it will cover the distance in two hours and fifty-eight minutes. In a
day, the high-speed train will make 70 Ahmedabad-Mumbai sorties. A total
of 24 high-speed trains will be imported from Japan and then rest of
the rakes will be manufactured in India.
