'''Port line''' of the [[Mumbai Suburban Railway]] is a railway line serving from [[CBD Belapur]] and [[Nerul]] in [[Navi Mumbai]] to [[Uran]] in South [[Navi Mumbai]] of [[Maharashtra]], which is attached to the [[Harbour line (Mumbai Suburban Railway)|Harbour line]]. It was inaugurated on 11 November 2018 and daily services started on 12 November 2018.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/mumbai/mumbai-first-phase-of-nerul-seawoods-uran-rail-line-commissioned/articleshow/66578304.cms|title=Mumbai: First Phase of Nerul-Seawoods-Uran rail line commissioned|website=The Times of India|access-date=26 November 2020|date=11 November 2018}}</ref>

This railway line will help to accelerate the growth of Navi Mumbai, Jawaharlal Nehru Port and the Newly developed areas of Navi Mumbai and also will cater to the passenger traffic demands generated by [[Jawaharlal Nehru Port]], port-based industries, [[ONGC]], the Defence establishment and other residential, industrial, and warehousing complexes in [[Uran]].

==Technical specifications==
The total length of the corridor is {{cvt|27|km}} and consists of ten stations; four major bridges; five roads over bridges, 15 roads under bridges, one track under bridge.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://cidco.maharashtra.gov.in/NM_Railway_Infrastuture.aspx|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160302172444/https://cidco.maharashtra.gov.in/NM_Railway_Infrastuture.aspx|archive-date=2 March 2016|title=Railway Project|website=City and Industrial Development Corporation of Maharashtra Ltd.|access-date=26 November 2020}}</ref> The {{cvt|270|m}} platforms for two Broad gauge (BG) tracks to cater 12-car [[electric multiple unit]] rakes with double discharge. The railway track structure shall comprise {{cvt|60|kg/m}} I-class rails laid on monoblock prestressed concrete sleepers to {{cvt|16660|/km}} sleeper density. The bridges will be built to the Modified [[Broad gauge]] (MBG) standard of loading. Stone ballast {{cvt|65|mm|frac=-8}} gauge with ballast cushion of {{cvt|300|mm}} below the underside of sleepers will be provided and also provisions are made for one branch of the railway line to go to [[CBD Belapur]]. Currently, 4 EMU rakes ply on this line.

This railway line project is divided into two phases :
* Phase I starts from Nerul and CBD Belapur to Kharkopar with stations are Seawoods-Darave-Karave, Bamandongri and Kharkopar.
* Phase II starts from Kharkopar to Uran with stations are Shematikhar, Nhava Sheva, Dronagiri and Uran.
* In Phase III, Targhar and Gavan stations will be started.

===Status===
* In Phase I, Bamandongri and Kharkopar are fully operational and Targhar railway station was still under construction.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://indianexpress.com/article/india/pmo-cidco-railway-line-project-navi-mumbai-international-airport-central-railway-4586890/|title=Seawoods-Uran railway line: CIDCO to skip construction of a station to meet deadline|website=Indian Express|access-date=8 October 2020|date=27 March 2017}}</ref>

* In Phase II, the Construction of all stations lying between Kharkopar and Uran were completed except Gavan railway station and flagged of by PM [[Narendra Modi]] on 12 January 2024.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://lokmat.news18.com/videos/video/pm-modi-nerul-uran-railway-prime-minister-modi-will-show-green-light-to-uran-khalapur-route-948945.html|title=उरण-खालापूर मार्गाला पंतप्रधान मोदी दाखवणार हिरवा कंदील|language=mr|website=News 18 Lokmat}}</ref>

==History==
The [[City and Industrial Development Corporation]] (CIDCO) was appointed as a New Town Development Authority in 1970. The government acquired land from 95 villages and handed it over to CIDCO for the development of towns. To decongest the mother city, Mumbai, CIDCO developed 14 nodes in [[Navi Mumbai]]. The development of [[Navi Mumbai International Airport]] and six railway corridors in Navi Mumbai were meant to increase connectivity between the towns, nodes and mega establishments. The major features of the rail corridor are direct access from residential areas to the railway stations by foot, convenient interchange facility from one corridor to another, double discharge platforms at every station, easy-to-follow routes and comfortable and pleasant journeys from the key features of the commuter railway system in Navi Mumbai.

For that purpose, The railway Project between CBD Belapur and Nerul-Seawoods-Uran was approved by [[Ministry of Railways]] and the CIDCO Board. The work on the project began in July 1997. However, due to various unforeseen reasons, the work was delayed and hence stalled, until recently when the project was revived after the tripartite agreement between Railways, [[CIDCO]] and [[Govt. of Maharashtra]] was executed on 29 July 2011.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.railnews.co.in/railways-and-cidco-jointly-to-fast-track-seawoods-uran-railway-link/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150110134850/http://www.railnews.co.in/railways-and-cidco-jointly-to-fast-track-seawoods-uran-railway-link/|archive-date=10 January 2015|title=Railways' and CIDCO jointly to fast-track Seawoods-Uran Railway link|website=Rail News|access-date=26 November 2020}}</ref><ref name="dna1">{{cite web|title=Seawoods-Uran line: Dec deadline set|url=http://www.dnaindia.com/mumbai/report-seawoods-uran-line-dec-deadline-set-2354178|website=[[Daily News & Analysis|DNA India]]|access-date=28 March 2017|date=16 March 2017}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Mumbai: First phase of Neral-Uran line completed, train services may start by July 2017|url=http://www.freepressjournal.in/mumbai/mumbai-first-phase-of-neral-uran-line-completed-train-services-may-start-by-july-2017/984662|website=Free Press Journal|access-date=28 March 2017}}</ref>

The original estimated cost for the project was {{INRConvert|495|c|year=1997}} in 1997, which escalated to {{INR}}1,782 crore.<ref>{{cite web|title=Phase 2 of Nerul-Uran corridor could be completed by 2018|url=http://www.mid-day.com/articles/phase-2-of-nerul-uran-corridor-could-be-completed-by-2018/15889178|website=Mid-day|access-date=28 March 2017|date=5 January 2015}}</ref> The cost is shared by CIDCO and the Indian Railways, 67:33.<ref>{{cite web|title=Uran rail link project faces green hurdle - Times of India|url=http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/navi-mumbai/uran-rail-link-project-faces-green-hurdle/articleshow/56630614.cms|website=The Times of India|access-date=28 March 2017}}</ref>
