In the Konkan region there are plenty of minerals, coconut
fields and mango orchards and preserving the ecosystem
was an engineering challenge and environmental chal-
lenge. In order to preserve the landscape, the line made
use of tunnels so that they would not have to destroy agri-
cultural land. To further the cause of environmental sus-
tainability all stations along the way have banned the use
of plastic in the form of cups, bags, and cutlery.
