Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday virtually laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of 508 railway stations as part of the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.
The project is estimated to cost Rs 24,470 crore.
Modi had tweeted: “…At a cost of almost Rs 25,000 crore, the redevelopment will revolutionise how rail infrastructure is imagined in our nation. It will boost ‘ease of living’ and enhance comfort and convenience. Special care has also been taken to ensure the stations align with local culture, heritage, and architecture.”
