Dear Vivek Thanks. There is no need to close 3rd 4th lines. The project is to construct 5th 6th lines right from Kalyan Jn to CSTm to segregate the Mail/Express/Freight traffic from 3rd 4th lines to 5th 6th lines, leaving 3rd-4th lines exclusively to operate Fast EMU services.

Are these two new lines electrified on 25 KV AC ??

Dear Srinivas, Definitely NO. They are still under 150V DC. Its not possible to convert them as of now.
