PUNE: Indian Railways
has advertised its plan to redevelop 'A-1' and 'A' category stations on 'as is
where is' basis, by inviting open bids from interested parties. The cost of
station redevelopment is to be met by leveraging commercial development of land
and air space in and around the stations.
Bids
were invited by Zonal Railways for 23 stations in the first phase of the
station redevelopment programme. Bids have been received only for Jammu Tawi
and Kozhikode stations on 12.07.2017 and 24.07.2017 respectively. These bids
have been taken up for evaluation.
Eight
stations viz. Shivajinagar (Pune), Anand Vihar (Delhi), Bijwasan (Delhi),
Chandigarh, Gandhinagar, Habibganj (Bhopal), Surat and Sabarmati have been
entrusted to Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Ltd. (IRSDC) for
redevelopment.
An
MoU has been signed by Ministry of Railways with Ministry of Urban Development
for integrated planning for station redevelopment projects in cities identified
as SMART cities in association with Smart City authorities. The following 10
Stations have been taken up for redevelopment under this scheme:
Tirupati,
Delhi Sarai Rohilla, Nellore, Madgaon, Lucknow, Gomtinagar, Kota, Thane New,
Ernakulam Jn. and Puducherry.
At
present, Ministry of Railways is formulating revised schemes for station
redevelopment on fast track.
