Since then, several different route proposals were made but no Commuter Rail project took shape. It was finally approved in the 2019 Railway Budget. On 1 February 2020, finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman mentioned in her budget that the project would be implemented at cost of Rs 18,600 crores.

The Finance Ministry stated that the central government would provide 20% of the equity and facilitate external assistance up to 60 percent of the project cost.
