Ram Mandir — Local services in Mumbai

Ram Mandir Railway Station is one of the newer additions to Mumbai’s Western suburban railway network, inaugurated in December 2016. Named after the historic Ram Mandir temple located nearby, this station was built to ease the congestion at the busy Andheri, Jogeshwari, and Goregaon stations. It has quickly become a convenient stop for local commuters, especially those living or working in the Oshiwara and Momin Nagar areas.

Being a relatively new station, Ram Mandir stands out for its clean platforms, modern architecture, and better-maintained infrastructure compared to many older suburban stations. The platforms are wide, well-lit, and equipped with clear signage. Escalators, lifts, and foot overbridges make passenger movement easier and safer.

Basic amenities like ticket counters, automatic ticket vending machines (ATVMs), and drinking water facilities are available, though seating and shaded areas are somewhat limited. The station is also well-connected to the Harbour Line, which allows direct trains toward Navi Mumbai (CSMT–Panvel route), making it a key junction for commuters traveling across the city.

Connectivity: Ram Mandir station serves both Western and Harbour Line local trains, with frequent services toward Churchgate, Borivali, Virar, and CSMT.

It’s conveniently located near the Ram Mandir Road and Oshiwara Depot, offering easy access to residential and commercial zones in Oshiwara, Lokhandwala Extension, and Goregaon West. Auto rickshaws and BEST buses are available just outside the station premises.

One of the highlights of Ram Mandir station is its relative cleanliness and orderly appearance. Since it handles fewer crowds than Andheri or Goregaon, the station feels calmer and safer. CCTV cameras, security personnel, and proper lighting contribute to a secure environment even during late evening hours.

The Ram Mandir Road station, the 37th station on the Western Line , was inaugurated on 22 Dec 2016, by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu, after seemingly interminable stages of construction since 2008. Its first train, running from Churchgateto towards Borivli, arrived at 6 pm, while another bound for Churchgate pulled up at 6.10 pm.

The station has four platforms, two each for slow trains and the yet-to-be-ready Harbour line section. Western Railwayoperates 1,323 train services in a day on both the fast and slow lines.

The station got its name from a 150 year old temple of Lord Ram. The temple is located on sprawling grounds, in Goregaon West, and its weathered dome lends it a pleasant patina of age. A signboard inside the temple informs visitors that it was renovated in 1897, and residents say that a temple existed at the current location prior to that year. The idols -- of Lord Ram, Lakshman and Sita – inside the sanctum sanctorum of the smaller temple, were transferred to the...
