Lower Parel railway station has three platforms. From platform no.1, slow local trains go towards Dadar-Bandra-Andheri-Borivali -Virar, from platform no.2, slow local trains go towards Mumbai Central-Churchgate, and Platform No.3 is kept as a reserve that can be used in emergency and during mega-block on Sundays.
As Lower Parel has become a corporate hub, thousands of people use the railway station daily, which makes the Lower Parel railway station one of the most crowded local railway stations in Mumbai.
It has a connection to phase II of the Mumbai Monorail,[1] opened in 2019.
The Delisle Bridge, which connects to Lower Parel, was shut to traffic in 2018 and reopened in November 2023 after pandemic-caused delays.[2]
