Maharashtra government gave in-principle approval to the Rs 21,000-crore Elevated Rail Corridor Project between Oval Maidan and Virar in Mumbai.
The state cabinet headed by Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan gave the approval when the Western Railway General Manager made a presentation of the project at a recent meeting.
The project involves setting up of a 63.27-kilometre two-track corridor along the existing Churchgate-Virar section through Public-Private Partnership model.
The project would be implemented on Design, Build, Finance, Operate and Transfer ( DBFOT) basis.
While 42.72 kilometre of this new corridor will be on the elevated track, 8.04 kilometres would be underground and the remaining 12.52 at grade (ground level).
