Central Railway Plans Infrastructure Blocks on Kalyan-Kasara Section for Upgrades

Central Railway will conduct two infrastructure blocks on the Kalyan-Kasara suburban section in late April 2026 to support capacity upgrades. A 15-hour block from noon April 25 to 3 am April 26 between Umbermali and Atgaon will focus on third-line construction, suspending local services between Asangaon and Kasara and affecting some long-distance trains. Separately, a shorter block from 2:10 am to 3:25 am on April 25 between Titwala and Vasind will enable platform extensions for 15-car trains, causing temporary regulation of several express services. Authorities cite safety and operational improvements as reasons for the disruptions.
