Central Railway Commissions Third Line Between Khardi and Kasara Stations
Central Railway has commissioned a 13.53-km third railway line between Khardi and Kasara stations after receiving safety approval from the Commissioner of Railway Safety (CRS). The new electrified line, cleared for operations at speeds up to 100 kmph, aims to ease congestion, improve punctuality, and enhance capacity on the busy Kalyan-Kasara corridor. The project included track connections, yard remodeling, bridge strengthening, and modern signalling, addressing challenges posed by the hilly terrain.
