Rail Connectivity

JNPA is linked with the Indian Railways through a lead line connecting the port with it serving station Jasai. Jasai is located on the Panvel – Uran branch line section of Mumbai division, Central Railway at a distance of 9 km from the port. The rail system at the port, which is operated and maintained by the Indian Railways, has 8 full-length railway lines serving the three existing container terminals.

Besides these, there is 4 line intermediate holding yard between Jasai and the port. The Jasai station yard deals with all traffic between JNPA and the Indian Oil Tank farm Ltd. The 4 lines intermediate holding yard between Jasai and the port also serves to hold back and regulate traffic in the event of congestion at JNPA or at Jasai yard.
