The problem was detected around 11 am today, and railway officials are currently working on restoring power.

Services are expected to return to normalcy by 12:30 to 12:45 pm.

Update (12.40 pm): The services plying towards Churchgate on the western line have been resumed. It has also been clarified that the disruption in services was caused after a battery box at Mahim Elec Sub station was stolen. The box was restored by authorities around 12.20 pm. Services were resumed 15 minutes after the battery box was restored.
