INDIAN RAILWAY STATION REDEVELOPMENT PROJECT

Various stations are being redeveloped on Indian Railways to provide modern amenities.  Rani Kamalapati station of West Central Railway and Gandhinagar Capital station of Western Railway have been developed and commissioned.

On the basis of the experience of these two stations and techno-economic feasibility, modernisation of other stations is being done.

Ministry of Railways is exploring various possibilities of funding to develop Railway Stations under different models.

Time frame for construction of stations can not be indicated at this stage as station development program is complex in nature and requires detailed techno-economic studies and various statutory clearances.

This information was given by Union Minister of Railways, Communications and Electronics & Information Technology, Shri AshwiniVaishnaw in a written reply in Rajya Sabha today.(MANISH)
