Conceived a decade ago, redevelopment of the Chandigarh Railway Station is finally on track with the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) awarding a ₹462-crore tender for the project, which is expected to be completed within 15 months once construction work commences.
The tender to redevelop the station on an EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) model has been awarded to Ahluwalia Contracts Private Limited. RLDA,vice chairperson, Ved Parkash Dudeja, who inspected the project on Friday, said, “The upgraded station will not only contribute to the city’s infrastructure growth story, but will also integrate two sides of the city. The project also includes a new terminal for the Panchkula side and a roof plaza. The revamped station will develop into a city centre.”
