Brief on MUTP- 3A
MUTP 3 A - Rs. 33690 crore Infrastructure Input to

Mumbai Suburban Railway System
1. Need for further augmentation/strengthening of Suburban Rail System :
 To cater future requirement of Suburban Traffic for next 20 years

 To augment and upgrade existing system to enhance capacity and safety
 As MMR region is rapidly expanding in Northern part , upgrading the suburban
transport in Island City and expansion of the Network in Northern Part are
essential.
MRVC has conceptualized all rail projects for Sustainable Urban Transport in the
City of Mumbai and put it in a single basket, named MUTP 3A.
2. Major Components of MUTP 3 A are

3. Extension of Harbour Line between Goregaon to Borivali :
Presently the Harbour line connects CSMT with Goregaon.

This will be extended to Borivali thus providing a direct
connection to CSMT for people of Borivali.
4. 5th& 6thLine between Borivali to Virar:

There are 5 lines between Mumbai Central and
Borivali 6th line is under construction. From Borivali
to Virar there are only 4 lines.
This proposal will segregate the suburban and non-

suburban services on Western Line and will provide a
slow and fast suburban corridor between Borivali
Virar improving its connectivity and increase of
services.
5. 4th line between Kalyan-Asangaon -
Kalyan to Kasara is important route connecting Mumbai with North part of Country.
The existing two lines are carrying mix traffic of Mail/ express, Goods trains and also
suburban services. There is substantial development of residential area up to
Asangaon on Kalyan- Kasara section.
There is sanctioned work of 3rd line between Kalyan –Kasara presently in execution by
Central Railway. Present services are run with terminal at Titwala, Asangaon & Kasara.
Construction of 4th line upto Asangaon will provide proper suburban connectivity to
this upcoming section which is home to millions of Mumbaikars.
6. 3rd& 4th line between Kalyan-Badlapur -
The existing two lines between Kalyan and Karjat are carrying mix traffic of Mail/
express, Goods trains and also suburban services.
The Satellite towns and cities of Badlapur, Ambarnath, Ulhasnagar need proper
suburban rail connection for journey to Kalyan and Mumbai. Present services are run
with terminals at Ambernath, Badlapur, Karjat, Khopoli and cannot be increased due to
saturation on Kalyan Badlapur section
The new suburban corridor from Kalyan to Badlapur will enable augmentation of
suburban rail services and will provide much need suburban rail connectivity to these
towns and will provide the infrastructure for their development.

7. Kalyan Yard - Segregation of Long distance and Suburban Traffic -
After Kalyan Yard modification, there will be complete segregation of suburban and
long distance traffic. It will decongest the crowding on platforms, facilitate smooth
movements & augmentation of suburban services. This will facilitate better suburban
network connectivity with proposed corridors between Kalyan-Asangaon and Kalyan-
Badlapur under MUTP 3A. Separate and independent Platforms will be available for
dealing with long distance trains avoiding their clashing with Suburban traffic.
8. Augmentation of Carrying Capacity and Safety enhancement using Communication

Based Train Control (CBTC) –
Introduction of CBTC (communication Based Train Control System) on Suburban

Sections will enhance not only the safety of the section but will also reduce the headway
on these sections thus increasing capacity for running of additional services.
With the introduction of CBTC, it would be possible to provide the Platform Screen
Doors (PSD). Platform screen doors will minimize the cases of trespass at stations
which results in the casualties as people cross the platforms through track and not using
FOBs.
CBTC is proposed to be introduced on all sections of Suburban Mumbai viz.
a) CSMT-Panvel on Harbour and Trans Harbour Line of Central Railway -
b) CSMT-Kalyan on Central Railway- on both slow and fast lines.
c) Churchgate-Virar on Western Railway - on both slow and fast lines.
9. Station Improvement
There are total 119 stations on Mumbai Suburban Railway System. Most of the stations
are more than 80 years old and highly congested. All suburban stations need to be
improved and upgraded from passenger’s amenities point of view.
In addition, the circulating space for passengers has become restricted due to
augmentation of service and increase of length of trains to 12/15 coach. There is
urgent need for additional circulating space by provision of elevated decks,

interconnection between FoBs, improving entry/exit projects. It is planned to
upgrade about 16 Suburban Stations by provision of FoB’s, elevated decks, inter
connection between deck/FoB’s, skywalk, relocation of service buildings, stalls,
kiosks etc., improving entry/exit, improve circulating area, provision of green
space, improvement in general lighting and general electrical services etc. A sum
of Rs. 947 cr has been earmarked for this work.

There is a problem of overcrowding and casualties due to falling of passengers from

trains.
191 Air Conditioned rakes with automatic closing doors will be procured to
provide a better and safe service to people of Mumbai.

Suitable EMU facilities to take care of maintenance of the enhanced number of EMU
rakes by way of additional facilities in existing workshops and car shed and additional
car shed and workshop have been planned.
12. Stabling Lines

97 new stabling lines to take care of the additional EMU rakes in the system have been
proposed.
13. Power Supply Augmentation – Traction Power Supply & General Power Supply-
To take care of the additional power requirement due to additional and air-conditioned
rakes, three additional traction sub-stations and sectioning posts on CR and two
additional traction sub-station and two sectioning posts on WR have been proposed.
