Nalla Sopara is a railway station on the Western line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. The Western Railways is planning to widen platforms at the station. It has placed work orders to create more space on the narrow fast-train platform 4 at Nallasopara and also at Mira Road that is linked to the skywalk. The project cost is about ₹72 lakh and the work will be completed by July 2012.

In 2011, Nallasopara alone recorded a 25% increase in commuters travelling in first-class compartments as compared to the previous year. The extra space on platforms will help the railway deal with the sea of people continuously pouring into stations because of longer trains, wider bridges and new skywalks.[1]
