New Delhi Railway Station. The work of making New Delhi Railway Station attractive is going to start soon. If railway sources are to be believed, the tender for the redevelopment work of New Delhi Railway Station will be issued soon after the completion of the Lok Sabha elections process. Let us tell you that in the budget of 2023, the Modi government had made a special provision to make New Delhi Railway Station attractive. But, the biggest reason for not issuing the tender is the 300 trains coming and going from East-West and North-South direction. The Railways has prepared a plan for all the trains coming and going from here.
If railway sources are to be believed, a plan has been prepared to run these trains from other stations adjacent to the capital. Because, there is an election atmosphere in the country at this time and during the elections, passengers will face a lot of trouble if more than 300 trains are suddenly run from other stations. For this reason, after June, a tender will be issued to make New Delhi Railway Station attractive. The beautification work of New Delhi Railway Station will start within 6 months of the tender being issued.
There was a plan to complete the work of New Delhi Railway Station in four phases, but it did not seem possible.
New Delhi Railway Station is going to become more attractive
Let us tell you that more than 300 trains like Mail, Super Fast, Rajdhani and Vande Bharat are run daily from New Delhi Railway Station. Lakhs of passengers will face problems due to change in the location of these trains in the midst of Lok Sabha elections. Keeping this in mind, a plan is underway to shift these trains to Old Delhi, Anand Vihar, Hazrat Nizamuddin, Shahdara, Delhi Cantt, Sarai Rohilla and Ghaziabad within the next six months.
More than six lakh passengers travel daily through New Delhi Railway Station itself. If railway sources are to be believed, trains going in the east direction will be shifted to Anand Vihar railway station. From Anand Vihar you can catch trains for UP, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and North-East. At the same time, trains going towards Punjab and Haryana can be shifted to Sarai Rohilla. Trains going towards MP, Rajasthan, Gujarat and Maharashtra can be run from Delhi Cantt and Hazrat Nizamuddin. Along with this, there are preparations to run many trains from Old Delhi, Ghaziabad and Sahibabad.

New Delhi Railway Station There was a plan to complete the work in four phases, but it did not seem possible. This is the reason why now the plan to do the work of New Delhi Railway Station simultaneously instead of doing it in different phases is going on. It is believed that the redevelopment work of New Delhi Railway Station will start by the end of this year. By the year 2028 or early 2029, New Delhi Railway Station will be one of the most modern railway stations in the world.

On the lines of airports, Modi government is also making all the railway stations of the country modern and beautiful. This work of beautification has been going on at a rapid pace at railway stations for the last several years. Last year itself, the Railway Minister had shared pictures of the proposed model of New Delhi Railway Station on social media. In the new design, the railway station is seen in two domed complexes. In the pictures, the new station complex looks exactly like an airport or a mall. All traffic will pass through the elevated road. Let us tell you that this project will cost Rs 4700 crore.
