The railways ministry on Saturday shared photos of the proposed futuristic, dome-shaped, glass building – the redeveloped New Delhi Railway Station – on Twitter, calling it ‘making (of) a new era’. The design, however, has received mixed reactions from users.
As per the proposed plan, the station will have a 40-storey twin tower, multi-level car parking, and pick-up and drop zones. The built up area will be about 2.22 lakh square metres.
The twin tower will house offices, retail shops and will also have space for a hotel. The railways will get its own office – 45,000 square metres. 91 bus bays, 1,500 ECS parking, skywalks for pedestrians and metro passengers will be developed on site.
