Nagpur, July 2 (PTI) The Nagpur railway station redevelopment project is progressing steadily and is expected to be completed by next December as scheduled.
Once completed, the railway station can accommodate 98,000 passengers per day, the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) stated.
“The project is 33 per cent completed after accomplishing all preparatory works and shifting existing utilities at the site. Construction work on the eastern as well as the western sides of the station is progressing as planned and this project will be completed in December 2025 as per its schedule,” it stated.
The redeveloped Nagpur railway station is being designed to accommodate 98,000 passengers per day. The station will feature dedicated segregation for arrivals and departures with separate Foot Over Bridges (FOBs) and a 108-meter-wide concourse with a roof plaza that includes all amenities and retail options.
“The temporary new booking counter is ready for relocation. However, to avoid inconvenience to passengers, it is planned to shift the booking counter only after the provision of a staircase connection at the new location to the South FOB on platform 8 is established,” it said.
The release said that on the west side, the station will have a departure and arrival plaza (G+2) with a 3,420 sq m basement parking area and a circulating area with defined lanes for taxis, cars, and auto rickshaws, providing smooth passage with drop-off and pick-up facilities.
RLDA further said that the work on the platforms for the FOBs and concourse will commence soon as its steelwork is under fabrication in the workshop.
This brownfield project is being executed in a phased manner to avoid disrupting train operations and minimise inconvenience to passengers preserving the heritage building of this station. PTI CLS NSK
