PM Modi to lay foundation of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus redevelopment

In a significant milestone for Mumbai, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday would lay the foundation stone of the redevelopment of the iconic Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus, which is a Unesco World Heritage Site.

The CSMT houses the headquarters of the Central Railway (CR).

The redevelopment of the CSMT is planned with a view to decongesting the southern heritage node of the terminus, augmentation of facilities, better multi-modal integration, and conserving and restoring the world-famous iconic structure to its past glory.

The project will be done at a cost of over Rs 1,800 crores, officials said on Tuesday.
