The Central government has scrapped the proposed Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT)-Panvel elevated fast corridor and the Virar-Vasai-Panvel suburban rail line, which could have enhanced the connectivity between Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Palghar.
Additionally, the number of air-conditioned (AC) local trains, which were poised to be procured in the future, had been brought down from 210 to 191, a state government resolution issued on April 11 said.
All these projects were part of the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP)-3A and were to be executed at an estimated cost of more than ₹21,000 crore.
