On 7 September, six wagons of a goods train derailed near Khandala in Western Maharashtra. While no one was injured in the incident, it had led to the 10 trains being cancelled and three trains being diverted.

There have been reports that Railways will start the track renovation process soon to avoid the train derailments.

On 29 September, 23 people were killed, and dozens were injured after a stampede ensued on a foot-over bridge at 10.40 am during the early morning rush at Elphinstone Road station. Police suspect a short-circuit with a loud sound near the foot-over bridge led to panic and people started running, resulting in the stampede.
