[3] After the decision was announced, Gurudas Kamat, the Lok Sabha member from Mumbai North-East, met L. K. Advani and submitted a memorandum asking that the terminus be renamed after Babasaheb Ambedkar.

Major portion of work in Phase-I is proposed to be completed in 1989, subject to clearance of a High Court case and removal of hutments (encroachments).

[5] In 2003, Central Railway (CR) decided to expand LTT to take on more rail traffic, as the Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CSMT) had reached its saturation point, and was unable to handle any more express trains.

The Mumbai Metropolitan Region Development Authority (MMRDA) also agreed to construct a ramp from LTT to the flyover to be built nearby, as part of the Santa Cruz–Chembur Link Road (SCLR).

In October 2012, CR announced plans to cease long-distance train services at Dadar Terminus within 5–6 years.

CR plans to introduce connectivity with other modes of transport as well as build a mall, multi-story parking, escalators, restaurants, food courts, better signage and indicators, budget hotels and an aesthetically pleasing exterior and interior.
