The Indian Railways is looking to bid out 16 railway stations under the public private partnership (PPP) route for redevelopment purposes. According to senior officials, familiar with the development, the target is to bid out these stations within the current year itself.
Anand Vihar, Thane, Tambram, Dadar, Kalyan, and Andheri stations are in the list. Railway stations of Pune, Coimbatore, Bangalore City, Baroda, Bhopal, Chennai Central, Old Delhi, Nizamuddin, Avadi, and Vijayawada are likely to part of this redevelopment. “These railway stations will be upgraded to ensure improved basic facilities and accessibility for passengers. Various monetisation models are being examined to encourage the private sector,” an official told.
