Redevelopment work at Sabarmati railway station under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme has crossed 85 per cent completion, with the entire project expected to be completed by March, according to railway officials.

The revamped station is being equipped with modern passenger amenities and infrastructure aimed at improving movement within the station and providing travellers with an airport-like experience.

Work Underway On Platforms 2 And 3

Large-scale redevelopment work is currently underway on Platforms 2 and 3. The work requires operational blocks to facilitate construction activities.

Work on Platforms 4-5 and 6-7, which are connected to the station building, has already been completed.

Platform 1 Work To Resume After Diwali

Around half of the work on Platform 1 has been completed, including beam installation and the construction work connecting the concourse area with the main station building.

The remaining work on Platform 1 will begin after the Diwali festival and will require a block in train operations.

Railway officials expect the complete redevelopment of the station to be finished by March.

New Concourse And Wider Foot Overbridge

The redeveloped station will feature a spacious concourse with adequate seating and passenger movement areas across the platforms.

A new 12-metre-wide foot overbridge is also being constructed to facilitate quicker movement between platforms. Modern lifts and escalators will provide easier access for passengers.

Direct Link To Bullet Train Hub

One of the key features of the redeveloped station will be its direct connectivity with the Bullet Train multi-modal hub, providing passengers with an integrated transport link.

The station will also have separate entry and exit arrangements for vehicles, including dedicated areas for passenger pick-up, drop-off and parking to improve traffic flow.

Food Plaza, Waiting Rooms And Digital Facilities

Passenger amenities will include a food plaza, along with air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned waiting rooms and retiring rooms.

The station will also be equipped with digital display boards and a modern public announcement system to provide passengers with real-time travel information.

CCTV, Fire Safety And Solar Power

The redevelopment plan also includes comprehensive CCTV surveillance and modern fire safety systems.

A solar power plant is being installed as part of the station's green-energy infrastructure, adding to the range of upgraded facilities planned for the redeveloped Sabarmati railway station.
