Prime Minister Narendra Modi will inaugurate a series of railway infrastructure projects valued at over Rs 41,000 crore on Monday. Under the ambitious Amrit Bharat Station Scheme, PM Modi will also lay down the foundation stones for redevelopment of 553 railway stations.
Spread across 27 states and union territories, these redevelopment projects are estimated to cost upwards of Rs 19,000 crore. The Prime Minister’s Office emphasized that these stations will serve as ‘City Centres,’ seamlessly integrating both sides of the cities. Moreover, they will boast modern passenger amenities such as roof plazas, landscaping, intermodal connectivity, improved facades, kids’ play areas, kiosks, and food courts.
