Oshiwara Railway Station is an under-construction railway station on the Western Line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway.[1][2] Station built in between Jogeshwari railway station and Goregaon railway station will serve the Oshiwara neighborhood of the city.

Construction

As of 2014 it was under construction. Part of the plan is to extend the harbour line beyond Andheri to Goregaon. The station was commissioned by NDA in 2002.

Several completion deadlines have lapsed. The Western Railway, the BMC and state officials have been unable to coordinate action. The station was scheduled to open in 2009. However, after residents insisted that the crossing level only be closed after the road overbridge is complete, this date was missed.[3][4]
