CORPORATE PLAN

2014-2034

(Revised November 2017)

1 INTRODUCTION

The Suburban Railway network caters to 8.0 million commuters every day. It has the highest passenger density in the World, ahead of even Tokyo and Seoul. Almost half of the total daily passengers using the entire Indian Railway System are from system alone. Mumbai Suburban Railway system, in spite of heavy demands on it, has provided an efficient and reliable service. However, the pressure continues and today it has reached alarming proportions. Overcrowding has grown to such an extent that 5,000 passengers are traveling per 9-car during peak hours, as against the rated carrying capacity of 1,750. This has resulted in, what is known as, super dense of upto 16 standing passengers per square metre of floor space. Given the geographical spread of the population and location of business areas, the rail network will continue to be the principal mode of mass transport in Mumbai.

To enable the Mumbai Suburban Railway system to meet the demands of the ever- growing passenger traffic, Ministry of Railways and the Government of have joined hands to face the challenge.

6. OVERVIEW OF MUMBAI SUBURBAN RAILWAY

The Suburban Railway system in Mumbai is perhaps the most complex, densely loaded and intensively utilised system in the world. Spread over 376 route Kms, it operates on 25kV AC on WR while it operates on both the voltages 25kV AC & 1500 Volt DC power supply on WR & CR from overhead catenary. The suburban services are run by electric multiple units (EMUs). 258/12 car rakes are utilised to more than 3000 train services to carry 8.0 million passengers per day. Two zonal Railways, the Western Railway (WR) and the Central Railway (CR), operate the Mumbai Suburban Railway system.

Two corridors (one local and other through) on Western Railway run northwards from Churchgate terminus parallel to the west coast up to (60 Kms) and recently extended in April 2013 upto Dahanu Road (124 Kms). Two corridors (one local and other through) on Central Railway run from Chhatrapati Terminus (CST) to (54 Kms), from where it bifurcates into Kalyan-Kasara (67 Kms) in the north-east and Kalyan-Karjat-Khapoli (61 Kms) in south-east. The 5th corridor on Central Railway runs as the Harbour line starting from CST to Raoli Junction (11 Kms) from where the line splits. One line goes north west to join WR at and goes up to (11 Kms) and the other goes eastward to terminate at Panvel (39 Kms) via New-Mumbai. New suburban line from to via (17 Kms) has been started in November 2004. At present, the fast corridors on Central Railway as well as on Western Railway are shared by long distance (Main line) and Freight .

8. Way Ahead

8.1 Capacity Enhancement/Augmentation

A Comprehensive Transport Study (CTS) for multi modal transport requirement in MMR was carried out by MMRDA in 2008 where suburban railway corridors costing over Rs. 31,000 Crs. at 2005 price were identified.

A paradigm shift in approach is required to upgrade the system at least double its existing capacity in planned manner in next 15 years. The plan for suburban rail transport system for MMR for the new/ augmenting existing corridors for next 15 years has been formulated. These have been categorized as-

. New Suburban Railway corridors The proposed new suburban railway corridors are either along the non- suburban corridors or new alignment for suburban services.

. Augmentation of existing corridors These are proposed additional corridors along the existing suburban corridor.

. Improved Signalling System to reduce headway Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) system is the most cost effective solution for improving headway. The headway, which is currently

between 3 to 4 minutes, can be reduced to around 2 minutes by introduction of CBTC.

The plan for capacity enhancement has been prioritized as below –

(A) Priority - I (Rs. in crores) S. N. Name of Corridor RKM Augmentation of existing corridors 1 3rd and 4th Lines Kalyan-Kasara on C.Rly 67 Improved Signalling System 1 Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) System on 50 Harbour line (cost including conventional rolling stock for additional services)

(B) Priority - II (Rs. in crores) S. N. Name of Corridor RKM New Suburban Corridors 1 New Suburban Corridor on Panvel-Pen-Jite - 66.3 2 Premium Elevated Corridor between Kurla- Thane- Bhivandi 31 3 New Suburban Corridor on Panvel-Roha 75 Augmentation of existing corridors 1 3rd and 4th Lines Kalyan--Karjat on C.Rly 67 2 5th & 6th additional lines between Borivali-Virar on W.Rly 50 Improved Signalling System 1 Communication Based Train Control (CBTC) System on main 300 lines of CR & WR (cost including conventional rolling stock for additional services)

The total estimated cost of above works will be approx. Rs. 55000 crs. Further, around Rs. 5,000 crores will be required to upgrade/strengthen the existing infrastructure, upgradation of maintenance facilities, safety and reliability. It is mentioned here that cost of conventional rolling stock (Non air-conditioned) has been considered in the above proposals except for corridors of premium services. In case the air-conditioned coaches are introduced, the investment will be enhanced by Rs. 18000-20000 crs.
