Railway Minister Shares tentative image of renovated New Delhi Station

Piyush goel shared photos of New Delhi Station and wrote this is the expected model.


Railway Minister Piyush Goel outlined what the New Delhi Railway Station would look like in a few years if it was revived through a central government program. It will be the symbol of the less congested future of the nation, with more modernised and comfortable facilities,  if his vision comes into place.

The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) is expected to take the road to the reconstruction of the 95-year-old station, seeking to engage investors and developers worldwide in the $ 680 million project. Online events will be scheduled between January 14 and 19 and will require bids for 61 other projects, too. In this regard, Mr Goyal on Thursday posted a few tweets - from the artists - on what the station would look like, saying, "Considering the rich passenger experience with the perfect combination of different modes of transport, look at the future of the New Delhi Railway Station."

“This project is attracting interest from various stakeholders, and we aim to maintain momentum through visible roads,” said RLDA Deputy Chairman Ved Parkash Dudeja. The RLDA is a legal entity established in 1989 under the Department of Railways to develop goods based on the sender's world bank that can be used for trading to make money.

The New Delhi railway station will be built on a design-build-finance-operate-transfer model, says the RLDA, a 60-year permit period. The project is expected to cost about $ 680 million, according to the release. The station, located in the center of Delhi, is close to the commercial capital of the country, Connaught Place, and is connected to Indira Gandhi International Airport via the Delhi Metro line. It opened in 1926 and carries about 5.2 lakh passengers daily arriving or traveling on more than 350 trains, according to Northern Railways. Adani, GMR, JKB Infra, Arabian Construction Company, and Anchorage attended a pre-bidding meeting for the project, scheduled for last September.
