Work of redevelopment of stations is in progress at Ayodhya (Uttar Pradesh), Safdarjung (Delhi), Bijwasan (Delhi) and Gomti Nagar (Uttar Pradesh). Sir. M. Visvesvaraya Terminal (Karnataka) is ready for commissioning. Two stations viz., Gandhinagar Capital railway station (Gujarat) and Rani Kamlapati railway station (Madhya Pradesh) have been developed and commissioned. On the basis of the experience of these two stations, techno-economic feasibility redevelopment plans of other stations are being worked out. Since station planning is a complex and dynamic process involving multiple stakeholders, further details on redevelopment plans cannot be given at this stage. Among the various models of development being explored for station development, Public Private Partnership is also being examined.
This information was given by the Minister of Railways, Communications and Electronic & Information Technology, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw in a written reply to a question in Rajya Sabha today.
