What are the stations where work has been completed or is nearing completion?
Gujarat’s Gandhinagar Capital Railway Station, symbolising the new face of Indian Railways, was recently dedicated to the nation by the Prime Minister. The station has several firsts to its credit, including a five-star hotel over live railway tracks and a one-of-its-kind column-free platform roof with the largest span in Indian Railways. It is a unique, column-free, sleek, and economical space frame of 99 meters (105 m curvilinear) span over the platform (longest such span in Indian Railways comprising 120 kg/sqm steel only) with all-weather proof aluminium sheeting.
Another station nearing completion is Habibganj Railway Station, Bhopal. It is being redeveloped by IRSDC along with Bansal Group’s Bansal Pathways Habibganj under a public-private partnership (PPP) model. The redevelopment work is modeled on the lines of Germany’s Heidelberg Railway Station with facilities at par with international standards. The redeveloped Habibganj Railway Station is the first in India to get a 5 GEM rating in GEM Sustainability Certification for Green, Sustainable Design and Eco-friendly Project by ASSOCHAM.
