The Maharashtra State Road Transport Corporation (MSRTC) is set to play a key role in Panvel’s rapid growth, with the state transport minister expediting the stalled Panvel Bus Port project to align with the upcoming rail terminus serving three major corridors. 

The existing Panvel railway station on the Harbour Line is being transformed into a major rail terminus for outstation trains, alongside new local train corridors connecting Panvel to Karjat and Vasai. In addition, Panvel will be linked to the national Dedicated Freight Corridor (DFC) to JNPT, a separate express train line to Karjat, and the Konkan Railway, making it a crucial transport hub.
