In the Konkan region there are plenty of minerals, coconut �elds 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.
