Amrit Bharat Station Scheme

August 8, 2023

PM Modi laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment works of 508 railway stations in the country through video conferencing under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.
Redeveloped at a cost of more than Rs 24,470 crores, these 508 stations are spread across 27 states and union territories.
Master Plans were being prepared for the development of these stations as ‘City Centres’, with proper integration of both sides of the city.
This integrated approach is driven by the holistic vision of the overall urban development of the city, centred around the railway station.
These stations will have better seating on platforms, upgraded waiting rooms and free Wi-Fi amongst other things.
The redevelopment will provide modern passenger amenities along with ensuring well-designed traffic circulation, inter-modal integration, and signage for the guidance of passengers.
The design of the station buildings will be inspired by local culture, heritage, and architecture.
