Chord line
A chord line (bypass line) connecting Mumbai–Chennai line and Daund–Manmad line, bypassing Daund railway station, was proposed at an estimated cost of Rs.30 crore.[3] This 1.5 km long chord will save considerable time as trains can go from Pune towards Ahmednagar without going to Daund station and reversing.[4] A joint survey was planned for the construction of a chord platform for passengers who want to get off for Daund Junction after the commissioning of chord line.[5] The chord line was opened in 2020.[6]
