From the major Railway Stations: The local organizing committee regret that no pickup service
could be provided from the railway stations.
• If you alight at CST/VT (Chatrapati Shivaji Terminus or VT for Victoria Terminus) railway
station, change over to the suburban side and buy a ticket to Mankhurd and board the trains
marked M, VA, BR, or PL (Most probably from platform no. 1 or 2) of the suburban (local)
terminus. The journey time is approximately 40 minutes. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of
the station on the east side and take an auto-rickshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar
/HBCSE(~ Rs. 20/- ).
• If you alight at Dadar, you may directly take a taxi to Anushakti Nagar. The taxi fare will be
about Rs.120/-. It is not advisable to take the suburban train in the morning between 7:00 am to
11:00 am and in the evening after 3 pm, specially on a working day due to heavy commuter
traffic. If you wish to come by the suburban train, buy a ticket to Mankhurd, take a train for
Kurla station, and then switch over to harbour line and take a train from platform number 7 to
reach Mankhurd. After alighting at Mankhurd get out of the station on the east side and take an
auto-rickshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar/HBCSE.
• If you alight at Kurla (Lokmanya Tilak Terminus), you may take an auto-rickshaw (three
wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar directly. Auto fare will be about Rs.50/-. If you wish to come by
the local train buy a ticket from the near by local railway station (Tilak Nagar) to Mankhurd.
After alighting at the Mankhurd station, get out of the station on the east side and take an autorickshaw (three wheeler) to Anushakti Nagar/HBCSE.
• If you alight at Bombay Central, you may take a taxi to Anushakti Nagar. Taxi fare will be
about Rs.200/-. A cheaper option would be to take a suburban train to Bandra, and then take an
auto-rickshaw to Anushakti Nagar/HBCSE. Auto fare from Bandra will be about Rs.60/-.
You may keep in mind the following order of proximity from the Centre while alighting: Kurla
