The Central Railway in Mumbai is planning to set up vertical gardens at 15 railway stations on its main and harbour lines as part of its Amrit Bharat Station scheme. The gardens will be located in and around concourse areas and will be used to improve the aesthetics of the stations and increase the green quotient. The gardens will cost around INR14.72 crore ($2.2m) and will be developed within a year of the contract being awarded.
Rail passenger associations in Mumbai met Central Railway authorities to discuss delays of local trains and improvements in train operations.

A special block will be implemented for the dedicated freight corridor project, and simultaneous works on launching girders for a new road overbridge at Titwala will take place, leading to the cancellation of a few train services.
