Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), a UNESCO World Heritage site, is set for a grand makeover. A recent high-level meeting chaired by Anil Kumar Khandelwal, member (infrastructure) of the Railway Board, discussed the INR 2,450-crore redevelopment plan. The project includes a common elevated deck stretching from D N Road to P D'Mello road and a 24x7 City Centre named 'Rail-O-Polis'. Offices housed in the administrative building on D N Road will likely be relocated as part of the modernization. The revamped CSMT will also feature improved amenities and connectivity, integrating with various modes of public transit.

Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), a UNESCO World Heritage site, is set to undergo a transformative makeover as part of a INR 2,450-crore redevelopment project. Recently discussed in a high-level meeting chaired by Anil Kumar Khandelwal, member (infrastructure) of the Railway Board, the plan includes the creation of a common elevated deck spanning from D N Road to P D'Mello Road and the establishment of a 24x7 City Centre named 'Rail-O-Polis'.
As part of the redevelopment, the ground floor and two storeys of the administrative building on D N Road, housing various key offices including the Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation and Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), will be taken over by the railways. The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) will manage the elevated deck, potentially leading to the relocation of administrative offices towards the Carnac Bunder end.
Furthermore, plans include relocating the divisional railway manager's office for Central Railway's Mumbai division to the Wadi Bunder end, alongside Platform 18 at CSMT. A large concourse is also slated for construction, extending over the suburban rail platforms.
Another significant aspect of the redevelopment is the construction of an additional elevated deck near Carnac and Wadi Bunder areas catering to long-distance train platforms. This will be complemented by a 25-metre-wide foot over bridge (FOB) connecting the two elevated decks, along with linking to existing infrastructure such as the Himalaya FOB outside JJ College of Art.
The elevated decks will offer various amenities, including food stalls, ticket counters, waiting areas, and entertainment zones. Additionally, a City Centre on the second floor will feature shopping malls, gaming zones, restaurants, and tourist-friendly spaces. The historic station will also see improvements, including a spacious roof plaza, a food court, and designated areas for local products.
To preserve the architectural heritage, new railway buildings will not exceed 24 metres in height, ensuring they remain shorter than the dome of the World Heritage site. The project also aims to maintain the original 1930s look of existing structures.
Beyond CSMT, plans extend to revamping Byculla station, where height restrictions are less stringent, potentially accommodating a 30-storey skyscraper. Moreover, CSMT will serve as a hub for various modes of public transit, connecting suburban rail lines with Metro projects such as Colaba-Bandra-Seepz Metro 3 and Wadala-CSMT Metro-II.
The completion target for this extensive redevelopment endeavour is estimated at around four years, promising to reshape Mumbai's iconic railway landscape for generations to come.
