CSMT Station Redevelopment: Mega block extended by 10 days, long distance trains to terminate at Dadar and Thane
Central Railway has extended the traffic and power block at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CSMT) for another 10 days. This decision comes due to the ongoing redevelopment work at the station. The extension will directly affect passengers traveling on long-distance trains, especially those heading to Uttar Pradesh and Bihar.
Which trains will be affected and where will they stop
Starting from 29 May 2026, several long-distance express trains will not reach CSMT. Instead, these trains will terminate at Dadar or Thane stations. This change is necessary to allow work on platforms 16 and 17. Passengers are advised to check their revised schedules to avoid any last-minute confusion.
What is the reason for this 10-day mega block
The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) is executing the station redevelopment project, with Ahluwalia Contracts Limited carrying out the work. The current block is focused on infrastructure and modernization of platforms 16 and 17. This is part of a larger ₹2,450 crore project to turn CSMT into a modern multi-modal transport hub while keeping its heritage intact.
