Structural Works Completed at New Delhi, Safdarjung, Bijwasan and Delhi Cantt Stations Posted On: 26 MAR 2026 6:51PM by PIB Delhi Ministry of Railways has launched Amrit Bharat Station Scheme for redevelopment of stations. So far, 1338 stations have been identified for development under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, out of which 13 stations are located in Delhi. The names of stations identified for development under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme in Delhi are as following:- State No. of Amrit Stations Names of Amrit Stations Delhi 13 Adarshnagar Delhi, Anand Vihar, Bijwasan, Delhi, Delhi Cantt, Delhi Sarai Rohilla, Delhi Shahadra, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Narela, New Delhi, Sabzi Mandi, Safdarjung, Tilak Bridge. The activities for development at some of the stations located in Delhi are as given below:- Safdarjang : The works for construction of signal & telecom building has been completed and it has been made operational. The works of station building have been completed and finishing works have been taken up. The structural works of operational building completed. The foundation and column erection of air concourse has been completed and launching of girders has been taken up. The work for construction of departure plaza canopy has been completed. The work for provision of platform shelter, improvement of circulation and approach road has been taken up. Bijwasan : The structural work of station building and air concourse has been completed and finishing works have been taken up. The work for platform shelters has been taken up. The structural work of electrical sub-station has been completed and trench laying has been taken up. The structural work of sewage treatment plant and subway completed and finishing works have been taken up. Delhi Cantt .: The structural work of east side station building (part 1) and the structural work of residential quarters have been completed. The structural works for east side station building (part 2), elevated road, arrival and departure concourse, finishing work of railway quarters, execution of external development, refurbishing of platform, overhead tank and finishing of east side station building (part 1) have been taken up. Narela station: The works of platform shelter, platform surfacing, modern toilet, circulating area, parking and divyangjan facilities have been taken up. Subzi Mandi station: The works of new station building, platform shelter, platform surfacing, modern toilet, circulating area, parking, divyangjan facilities, lift and 12 m Foot Over Bridge have been taken up. Tilak Bridge station: The works of new station building, platform shelter, platform surfacing, modern toilet, circulating area, parking, divyangjan facilities and lift have been taken up. New Delhi : The work for provision of holding area at Ajmeri Gate side has been completed and the work for shifting of offices and passenger facilities for demolition of part station building at Paharganj side have also been completed. The works for construction of double basement at Paharganj side, foundation of elevated road have been taken up. Stations taken up for Master planning are at various stages. Master planning is an iterative process requiring optimization and the time frame for such optimization cannot be indicated at this stage. Amrit Bharat Station Scheme envisages development of stations on a continuous basis with a long-term approach. The scheme involves preparation of master plans and their implementation in phases to improve the stations. The master planning, keeping in view the necessity at each station includes:- Improvement of access to station and circulating areas Integration of station with both sides of city Improvement of station building Improvement of waiting halls, toilets, sitting arrangement, water booths Provision of wider foot over bridge/air concourse commensurate with passenger traffic Provision of lift/escalators/ramp Improvement /Provision of platform surface and cover over platforms Provision of kiosks for local products through schemes like ‘One Station One Product’ Parking areas, Multimodal integration Amenities for Divyangjans Better passenger information systems Provision of executive lounges, nominated spaces for business meetings, landscaping, etc. The scheme also envisages sustainable and environment friendly solutions, provision of ballastless tracks, etc. as per necessity, phasing and feasibility and creation of city centre at the station in the long term. At Tughlakabad station, the works for provision of divyangjan facilities by providing tactile path, standard signages, parking, toilets end ramp have been sanctioned recently. The maintenance of roads within the railway premises is carried out from time to time. However, the maintenance of roads outside the railway boundary falls under the jurisdiction of State Government or local Authorities. Further, development / redevelopment / upgradation / modernisation of stations on Indian Railways is a continuous and ongoing process and works in this regard are undertaken as per requirement, subject to inter-se priority and availability of funds. Development / redevelopment / upgradation / modernisation of a station are carried out based on category of station/condition/traffic handled etc. Further, development/redevelopment/upgradation of Railway Stations is complex in nature involving safety of passengers & trains and requires various statutory clearances such as fire clearance, heritage, tree cutting, airport clearance etc. The progress also gets affected due to brown field related challenges such as shifting of utilities, (involving water/sewage lines, optical fiber cables, gas pipe lines, power/signal cables etc.) infringements, operation of trains without hindering passenger movement, speed restrictions due to works carried out in close proximity of high voltage power lines etc. and these factors affect the completion time. Therefore, no time frame can be indicated at this stage This information was provided by the Union Minister for Railways, Information & Broadcasting and Electronics & Information Technology, Shri Ashwini Vaishnaw, in a reply to questions in Lok Sabha on Wednesday. ***** Dharmendra Tewari/ Dr. Nayan Solanki/ Manik Sharma (Release ID: 2245732) Visitor Counter : 1645 Read this release in: Urdu , हिन्दी , Kannada Ministry of Railways Amrit Bharat Station Scheme Transforming 13 Railway Stations Across Delhi Structural Works Completed at New Delhi, Safdarjung, Bijwasan and Delhi Cantt Stations Posted On: 26 MAR 2026 6:51PM by PIB Delhi Ministry of Railways has launched Amrit Bharat Station Scheme for redevelopment of stations.
