6. HISTORY OF RAILWAY
• The first railway on Indian sub-continent ran from
Boribunder to Thane on 16th April 1853.

8. NETWORK OF MUMBAI SUBURBAN
RAILWAY STATIONS
• Western Line
• Central Line
• Harbour Line
• Trans-Harbour Line

9. MUMBAI SUBURBAN RAILWAY SYSTEM
• Mumbai is a linear city, spread over a distance of 120
kms.
• Electric suburban trains were introduced in Mumbai in
1925 with 1500V Direct Current (DC) traction system.
• An incredible 88 per cent of the overall travel in
Mumbai is by bus and rail.
• The local trains carry 6.6 million passengers every day.
Although the normal capacity of each train is 1,700
during peak hours, more than 5,000 people crowd into
them.
• The Mumbai suburban railway network in the Central
and Western Railways covers a route of 319 kms.

10. MAJOR PROBLEMS
• Inability to Meet the Demand
• Poor Travel Comfort
• Poor Travel Comfort
• Encroachments in Railway Land
• Limitation of Carrying Capacity in the Existing
Corridors

11. STRATEGY ADOPTED TO SOLVE THE
PROBLEMS
• Formation of the Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation
(MRVC) to implement the railway projects in Mumbai
with the World Bank assistance.
• Resettlement and Rehabilitation of 15,000 project
affected households to get the encroached railway land
vacated.
• Introduction of new traction technology at 25 KV AC
converting from 15,00V DC system.
• Increasing the length of trains from 9 to 12 cars, thus
creating 33 per cent extra carrying capacity.
• Introduction of rakes with new technology having IGBT-based
traction control system with regenerative braking.

12. FUTURE OF MUMBAI SUBURBAN
• Bringing down the over-crowding in peak hour
peak direction 9-car train from 5,000 to 3,000
passengers.
• Segregating the suburban train operation from
the main line passenger and freight services.
