PUNE: Even as
the state government has held talks with Singapore’s Changi Airport Group to
develop the proposed new airport for the city, the Pune railway junction could
be redeveloped by a Malaysian firm.
Giving details of the proposed plan, Director General (PR)
Anil Saxena of the railway board confirmed that Malaysia-based Construction Industry
Development Board (CIDB) has shown an interest in bidding to re-develop six
Indian railway stations, including Pune.
With the bidding process for the first phase of the centre's
station re-development plan slated to take place in August, the company
officials are expected to visit Pune, Saxena added.
"They have shown an interest in Pune and they will have
to prepare the bidding documents now. The first phase of bidding is expected to
take place in August and before the bidding they are expected to carry out site
surveys, measurement of the area and so on. For this, their team is expected to
visit all five stations, including Pune," the senior official said.
It has been said that the estimated cost of re-development of
the stations, which includes Pune, Udaipur, Howrah, Indore, Secunderabad and Faridabad,
is Rs5,000 core.
A total 400 stations have been lined up for the station
re-development plan and the first phase will see bidding for 23 stations,
including Pune.
