Rajasthan is truly a magical destination. With sand dunes, mind-blowing food, heartwarming people and rich culture, you will be mesmerised by the history here. The state to boost tourism has also been undergoing major redevelopment in terms of infrastructure and connectivity for the ease of travellers.
One such redevelopment is being undertaken in Udaipur at the railway station. On May, 10th 2023, PM Narendra Modi laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Udaipur railway station, part of the infrastructure projects worth over Rs 5,500 crore in Rajasthan. This development will enhance the public experience in the railway station with various amenities.
The renovation work is moving smoothly, with the construction of the site office, laboratory, and labour camp already started. The project will take 36 months to complete.
How will the new Railway station look?
The Railway station will have ample parking space, several arrival and departure gates and strict security check. A 72-metre-wide concourse space will be available in the station. 20 new lifts and 26 new escalators will be available in the station building for ease. The plans also connect the current two footbridges via a skywalk.
The station will also have an unreserved waiting area, an executive waiting area, retail stalls, restrooms, a baggage scanner, and coach indicators, among other facilities. The station will use renewable energy sources like waste processing and rainwater harvesting. The idea is to incorporate green building technology, with various elements to reduce energy consumption during construction, operation and maintenance.
What is the project cost?
The redevelopment project will cost around Rs 354 crore, approved in January 2023.
As per reports, other developments of the road and railway sector in Rajasthan will also facilitate the movement of goods and services, thereby boosting trade and commerce and improving the socio-economic conditions of the people in the region," the PMO said.
