AIMING TO fast-track the redevelopment of New Delhi Railway Station, which is the largest such project of the national transporter, the Government is likely to delink the construction of the station complex from the commercial development of land around it, The Indian Express has learnt.
A Rs 4,700-crore plan is currently undergoing evaluation, with the Government turning away from the PPP (Public Private Partnership) model and looking to directly fund the Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) contracts.
The latest strategy involves rebuilding the station complex according to a design that has already been approved and the Master Plan for the railways’ largest station.
