The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) has introduced an ambitious redevelopment project to modernise the New Delhi Railway station.
The planned revamp will have construction of two new buildings on both the Paharganj and Ajmeri Gate sides. These new buildings will be a crucial part of a broader initiative to expand the station, allowing it to accommodate a more number of passengers. This upgrade will not only provide more space but also create a safer, more comfortable space.One of the prime features of the revamp project is the introduction of an air concourse.
This will help manage the flow of passengers by providing separate areas for arrivals and departures. It will reduce congestion and making navigation through the station easier. To further improve accessibility, the new design will include modern escalators, elevators, and a spacious waiting area.
In addition to this, there will be a zone for shops and commercial activities will enhance the overall experience for commuters. Talking about connectivity, the new station will serve as a major multimodal transport hub. It will be integrated with metro services, buses, and taxis, offering passengers a wide range of transport options. The surrounding area will also undergo significant improvements, with both elevated and ground-level roads designed to ease congestion and provide smoother access to the station.
The redevelopment project also includes an emphasis on eco-friendly design and sustainability. With green spaces, energy-efficient systems, and waste management initiatives, the new station will set a standard for environmentally responsible infrastructure.
The upgraded New Delhi Railway Station promises to transform the passenger experience, making travel safer, more comfortable, and more efficient for millions of people each day.
