There is no news of Doubling in Goa. There will be need of major earthwork as land is mostly marshy & 2 major bridges needed to be constructed along with 2 tunnels. Also there is a issue of land acquisition. Locals oppose it. Out of new crossing stns planned as per news above, none are in Goa. Few years KR Planned 3 new stns between Madgaon - Pernem, but nothing has happen. Even a new crossing stn, south of Madgaon, work is slowly going on from last 4-5 years. There was plan to construct to bypass line from SWR line to KR Line at this stn, but locals opposed it.
