LTT was earlier known as Kurla Terminus, as it is situated in Kurla. In 1996, the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation approved a proposal to rename the station after Lokmanya Tilak, and forwarded it to the Union Government through the State Government of Maharashtra.[2] The Union Home Minister, Lal Krishna Advani approved the proposal in 1999, at the request of Ram Naik, the Minister of State of Railway.[3] After the decision was announced, Gurudas Kamat, the Lok Sabha member from Mumbai North-East, met L K Advanii and submitted a memorandum asking that the terminus be renamed after Babasaheb Ambedkar.
