The Western Railway (WR) is constructing a sixth track between Borivali and Mumbai Central in two phases. The first stretch of the Khar-Goregaon track is expected to open by March 2023; whereas the entire corridor is scheduled to open by 2025, WR General Manager Ashok Kumar Misra said on Friday.
Once the sixth track is opened for operations, it will increase the number of train services by 20 per cent, the Western Railway said. However, encroachments on railway land need to be cleared, which the Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) is taking care of, Misra said.
