The extension of the corridor to Uran is set to significantly improve regional connectivity, benefiting Third Mumbai and its Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
Prime Minister Narendra Modi achieved a significant milestone by inaugurating the 14.60-kilometer Kharkopar-Uran stretch, a pivotal section of the 27-kilometer Belapur-Seawoods to Uran suburban corridor. This project, valued at Rs 2973.35 crore, was funded through a partnership between Maharashtra’s CIDCO and the Railways, with contributions split at 67% and 33%, respectively.
