Railways is likely to float tenders for the ₹300-crore project to revamp the Ludhiana station, one of the biggest junctions in Ferozepur division, in May.
A team from the railways, which visited the municipal corporation’s Zone A office on Tuesday, said, “Railways is in the process of approving plans and it is expected that tenders will be floated in mid-May. The contract will be awarded on EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) mode. Another project to replace the old railway tracks will also be taken up simultaneously by the construction wing of the Northern Railways.”
It is estimated that it will take at least two years to set the seal on the project to establish “world-class airport-like facilities” at the station once a contract is awarded.
