Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (also known by its former nameKurla Terminus, station code: LTT) is arailhead and a major railway terminus in theKurla suburb ofMumbai, India. LTT is managed by theCentral Railway. TheKurla andTilak Nagar suburban railway stations are located nearby. It is one of the five railway terminals within Mumbai, the others beingChhatrapati Shivaji Terminus,Dadar (Central) on theCentral line, andMumbai Central,Dadar (Western) andBandra Terminus on theWestern line.
In 1996, theBrihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) approved a plan to rename the Kurla Terminus station afterLokmanya Tilak, a popular leader of theIndian independence movement, and forwarded it to the Union Government through theGovernment of Maharashtra.[2]
Then Union Home MinisterLal Krishna Advani approved the proposal in 1999, at the request ofRam Naik, the then Minister of State of Railway.[3] In the first phase, two platformfaces, with 6000sq m of platform shelter, three stabling lines, two pit lines loco shed and station building with 2300 sq. m area etc. are to be provided at an estimated cost of Rs. 24.95 crores. Major portion of work in Phase-I was planned to be completed in 1989.[4]
In 2003,Central Railway (CR) decided to expand LTT to take on more rail traffic, as theChhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CSMT) had reached its saturation point, and was unable to handle any more express trains.[5] In 2006, the Mumbai division of CR cleared the designs for the construction of a elaborate station complex to replace the dilapidated terminus complex.[6] The new station complex design was prepared by the architect P. K. Das. TheMumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) also agreed to construct a ramp from LTT to the flyover to be built nearby, as part of theSanta Cruz–Chembur Link Road (SCLR).[6] The revamped LTT was inaugurated on 16 April 2013 by Railway MinisterPawan Kumar Bansal. The revamp of the terminus took three years. The new station complex was built on 50,000 sq meter land and has a 3,300 sq meterconcourse.
In October 2012, CR announced plans to cease long-distance train services atDadar Terminus within 5–6 years. The load would be transferred to LTT by upgrading the number of platforms at LTT from five to 12. CR plans to introduce connectivity with other modes of transport as well as build a mall, multi-story parking, escalators, restaurants, food courts, better signage and indicators, budget hotels and an aesthetically pleasing exterior and interior. The project will be implemented inpublic–private partnership (PPP) mode and is expected to cost₹ 50–60 billion. The project will be executed by the Railway Land Development Authority on the 20 acres of land that CR possesses around LTT.[7]

Central Railway (CR) completed the installation of arainwater harvesting system at LTT in October 2012. The system cost₹1 million (US$12,000) and will conserve 700,000 litres of water, which is approximately 40% of the station's daily water requirement. The rainwater harvesting project will help in the percolation of water into the subsoil, which will reduce flooding in the vicinity during the monsoon. The project involved constructing a 2 km trench and filling it with crushed stones.[9]
