The railways has finally begun work on home platforms at Badlapur and Ambernath stations, as part of a makeover for stations that were identified during the mid-day station audit series in 2017.

At both stations, the plan is to build a new platform on the west side to make the existing platform 1 a double-discharge one like those at Kurla and Parel, where passengers can alight on either side. This will help ease congestion.
