As per Mumbai Live, Sunil G Udasi, Chief Public Relations Officer of MRVC, said, 'This is a big step towards reimagining Mumbai's suburban railway experience. We're not just reducing congestion, but also building safer and more accessible stations for all."

Seven stations on the Western Line, including Kandivali, Mira Road, Bhayander and Vasai, are also being upgraded.
