The key objectives of the project are to develop Bandra Station as an efficient transportation hub and multi-modal interchange. To develop stronger and more meaningful connections with the surroundings and encourage creative industries to enhance its profile as a local landmark. Additionally to develop a high quality and culturally relevant, vibrant and diverse public realm to enhance the setting of the heritage building, a station that is legible and accessible to all by undertaking a sensitive restoration and upgradation programme for the Station.
