Kandivali (Pronunciation: [kaːn̪d̪iʋəliː]; formerly Khandolee, station code: KLE) is a railway station on the Western line of the Mumbai Suburban Railway network. It serves the Kandivli neighbourhood of Mumbai, India. All slow local trains temporarily halt between Kandivali and Borivali for a few seconds for signaling purposes, which commuters call an imaginary station named Thambevali.[1]
In 2020, during the COVID-19 crisis, Children's Academy along with Project Mumbai undertook a beautification project for Kandivali railway station.[2] Murals of Mandala art were drawn onto the walls of the station. Covid warriors were artistically portrayed on Platform 4.
Kandivali was one of the oldest stations in Mumbai, opened back in 1907.[3] It was then known as Khandolee, and is said to have been mainly used to transport the stones and rocks for the Reclamation scheme in Southernmost Bombay. It was made, essentially to service the quarries.[4] The hillock 'Paran' located east of the station, was quarried to provide this material. Subsequently, a railway workshop, and worker quarters were also built.

Redevelopmet plans have been introduced to revamp the 18 stations of Central and Western line under the Mumbai Urban Transport Project (MUTP)-3A. Among these stations, Kandivali station is one of the 6 stations which are opted for the early redevelopment plans. The Mumbai Railway Vikas Corporation (MRVC) is slated to enhance station facilities, initiate the construction of Foot Over Bridges (FOBs), elevated decks, interconnecting pathways through FOBs and skywalks, while also fostering the creation of green spaces and other enhancements.[5][6]
