With the arrival of another air-conditioned EMU rake in Mumbai, Central Railway (CR) is planning to introduce a second AC local train on the Harbour Line, strengthening connectivity along the busy Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT)–Panvel corridor.

The Harbour Line, considered a lifeline for the rapidly expanding workforce in Navi Mumbai, has seen a steady rise in passenger demand in recent years. The addition of a second AC local is expected to offer more comfortable commuting options for thousands of daily passengers.
