Up Harbor scheduled services towards CSMT Mumbai from Panvel, departing between 10:33 AM and 3:49 PM, and Down Harbor scheduled services towards Panvel/Belapur, leaving CSMT Mumbai between 9:45 AM and 3:12 PM, are suspended.

On the Trans-Harbour line, services from Panvel to Thane between 11.02 am and 3.53 pm, as well as services from Thane to Panvel between 10.01 am and 3.20 pm, will also be suspended.
