It comes under top 10 busiest railway junction in India. Kalyan junction will get 6 new platforms under yard remodeling project. The land for this project is available in railway goods yard on eastern side of railway station. This project will ensure separation of suburban and local train operations.

It was referred as 3rd ghat project. The survey of this project was carried out in 1973,2000, 2006, 2014 etc. This project was in pink book in 2010. Unfortunately this project could not be started. The alignment length of thus project was 184 km and it could have been shortest route for marathwada, andhra and telangana. The major challenge for this project is 18.96 km long tunnel Malshej ghat section. Malshej Kriti samiti is following for Kalyan-Ahmednagar railway project. Kalyan-Murbad section which is first phase of this project is already under survey stage.Towards Kasara and Khopoli, Kalyan Junction is the last station at which fast services stop i.e all services running from Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus to Kasara or Khopoli start halting at all stops beyond Kalyan. The same is true for when the trains are running towards C.S.M.T, with Kalyan being the first fast stop.
