Land Acquisition Begins for Manmad–Kasara Railway Expansion — Local Trains One Step Away from Reality

Nashik’s most awaited rail upgrade has officially kicked off — and with it, the dream of a direct Nashik–Mumbai local train is finally turning into reality.

In a major push to boost connectivity, authorities have begun land acquisition across 45 villages, covering five talukas, for the construction of two new railway lines between Manmad and Kasara (131 km). This crucial stretch is the missing link required for running suburban services toward Mumbai.

What’s Happening on Ground?

• Land acquisition launched in Igatpuri, Nashik, Niphad, Chandwad, and Nandgaon

• Work includes surveys, joint measurements, and alignment finalization

• Funds deposited by the Railways — enabling immediate start

• Project will include new tunnels, upgraded gradients, and dual lines

Why This Project Is a Game-Changer

The current Manmad–Kasara route runs at 138% capacity, overloaded with long-distance passenger and heavy freight trains. With the new tracks, Indian Railways can finally free up space to introduce high-frequency EMU (local) trains between Nashik and Mumbai.

This means:

✅ Faster & smoother travel for daily commuters ✅ Reduced crowding on long-distance trains ✅ Stronger freight capacity for regional industries ✅ Seamless connection between Nashik–Mumbai–Northern India

A New Era of Mobility for Nashik ( Big Breakthrough for Nashik–Mumbai Commuters! )

Once completed, this upgraded corridor will completely transform the way Nashik connects with Mumbai. For lakhs of residents and businesses, the start of land acquisition signals that the long-promised Nashik–Mumbai local train service is no longer a distant dream — it’s now officially in motion.
