Western Railway is on a quest to expedite the construction of the 6th line between Khar and Goregaon stations on the Mumbai Suburban portion. The construction of the new 8.8-kilometer line is moving quickly. The project will assist passengers, particularly commuters in the Mumbai Suburban portion, by improving punctuality and allowing for the inclusion of additional train services in the near future. Since October 7th, 2023, a block has been under construction. The block has been precisely arranged to provide the least amount of disturbance to rail movement and discomfort to passengers. Non-interlocking work in conjunction with the building of the 6th line is being carried out from October 26th–27th, 2023, until November 5th, 2023. It is important to note that the block has been arranged such that no trains are cancelled during the first 10 days.

Long-distance trains will also be impacted, with 60 cancellations and 200 partial cancellations or short terminations predicted.
