In a bid to boost Mumbai Railways’ infrastructure, the Union Budget 2022-23 has allocated an amount of Rs 577.5 crore for carrying out various ambitious railway infrastructure projects under the Mumbai Urban Transport Projects in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region. These MUTP projects are being implemented by the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation in the Mumbai division. Last year, an amount of Rs 650 crore was allocated for this but later, the amount was revised to nearly Rs 474 crore. The projects under MUTP, according to an IE report, include procurement and introduction of as many as 247 AC local trains, Commutation-based Control system as well as new corridors in Navi Mumbai and Palghar.
