mid-day brings you a peek into the closest station to the soon-to-be inaugurated Navi Mumbai airport, separated by just a road

The wave-inspired roof design of Targhar station, modelled on the nearby creek setting
Separated only by a road from the upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA), Targhar suburban railway station is receiving its final touches before opening soon. With terrace parking, integrated shuttle services, retail spaces, and three platforms, the station is designed to be a model suburban hub. Its wave-shaped roof, inspired by the nearby creek, will make it stand out as a landmark transit point with direct airport connectivity.
At present, trains do not halt at Targhar, as the station is still being readied with commuter amenities. Central Railway officials said it will become operational in the coming months. Planned as a multi-modal transit hub, Targhar will integrate airport shuttle services, provide retail outlets for daily commuter needs, and be future-ready with provisions for escalators and multi-level connectivity.
