Central Railway Completes Takeover of 17 Navi Mumbai CIDCO Railway Stations
Central Railway has taken over administration and management of all 17 railway stations developed by CIDCO in Navi Mumbai, completing a transfer process initiated in May. The handover resolves a long-standing issue where CIDCO maintained station infrastructure while CR operated trains. Central Railway will now handle operations, passenger amenities, and commercial rights, with formalities like land lease agreements expected to conclude by October. The stations span multiple corridors and were developed under a cost-sharing model between CIDCO and CR.
