PM Modi termed August 06 as a “landmark day” for the railways sector as he laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of 508 stations via video conferencing. Noting the importance of Railways across India, ‘Amrit Bharat Station Scheme’ has been launched to redevelop 1309 stations. The redevelopment of 508 railway stations will be done at a cost of more than Rs 24,470 crores. Master Plans are being prepared for the development of these stations as ‘City Centres’, with proper integration of both sides of city. The integrated approach is driven by the holistic vision of the overall urban development of the city. These 508 stations are spread across 27 states and UTs, including 55 each in UP and Rajasthan, among others. The redevelopment will provide modern passenger amenities along with ensuring well-designed traffic circulation. The design of the station buildings will be inspired by local culture, heritage and architecture.
