The Digha station is planned to be located adjacent to the Thane–Belapur Road, crossing over the Thane-Vashi line. It will serve as the primary focal point to divert Vashi trains to the Kalwa line, enabling them to reach Kalyan on the mainline.
The station will be situated 64.17 kilometers away from Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CSMT), and will be located 4.34 kilometers away from the current Ambarnath railway station and 3.1 kilometers from Badlapur railway station. According to Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation officials, the entire project is expected to cost nearly Rs 110 crore, including the construction of a ground-plus two-storey structure on each side of the station for booking offices, with four ticket windows on either side.[3]
Digha railway station is a part of the Airoli-Kalwa elevated corridor project.[4]
