Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Ltd. (IRSDC) is a dedicated organization set up as a Joint Venture between IRCON International Ltd. - IRCON & Rail Land Development

Authority  -  RLDA  for  redeveloping  identified  stations  over  Indian Railways viz. has been.

Twelve  stations  had  been  entrusted  to  IRSDC  in  the  first phase.  These stations are:

- i) Surat -Western Railway
2. ii) Habibganj (Bhopal) - West Central Railway
3. iii) Gandhinagar(Gujarat) - Western Railway

For  Surat  railway  station,  where  the  Malaysian  Company  has participated  in  the  RFQ,  in  a  very  innovative  and  first-of-its-kind model, MoU  has been signed between IRSDC, Gujarat State Transport  Corporation  (GSRTC)  and  Surat  Municipal  Corporation (SMC) for development of a Multi Modal Transport Hub at Surat on a total land plot of 2.5 lakh square meter by pooling the land parcels of the Railways, the GSRTC and the SMC. The equity contribution in the SPV is in the ratio of Railways: GSRTC: SMC :: 63:34:3 (in ratio with the area of land parcels contributed for the pooling of land for the project). A grand Multi Modal Transport Hub has been conceptualised on this pooled land around the Surat Railway station to provide the integrated transport solutions for the citizens thereby synergising the core capabilities of the three forms of Government viz.  The  Central  Govt.  (Ministry  of  Railways),  State  Govt.  (GSRTC) and the Urban Local Govt. (SMC). The cost of Multi Modal Transport Hub is anticipated as ₹ 645 Cr and gross development is anticipated to  be  of  approximately ₹ 3000  Cr.    RFQ  tender  has  opened  on 05.06.2017  in  which  seven  parties  including  one  Malaysian  firm, submitted  their  technical  bids.  The  bids  are  under  evaluation. Ministry of Railways has agreed for a lease period of 90 years for this project, in line with the policy of the Government of Gujarat.

Due to sustained efforts made by IRSDC, Developer has been fixed  for  redevelopment  of  Habibganj  railway  station  and  the Development  Agreement  for  this  has  been  signed  on  14.07.2016. Station redevelopment is of approximate value of ₹ 100 Cr and total value of development including commercial development is anticipated as ₹ 450 Cr.  Financial closure of the project has been achieved.  Existing  earning  commercial  contracts  are  novated  in favour  of  the  Developer  and  the  stations  handed  over  to  the developer on 1 st  March, 2017 after which the Developer has started his works and the Station Facility Management has also been taken over by the Developer. The Developer has also  commenced construction activities.

For  Gandhinagar  station,  a  special  purpose  vehicle  Gandhinagar Railway  &  Urban  Development  Corporation  (GARUD)  is  formed  by IRSDC with Government of Gujarat (GoG) with equity contribution as

24%  that of  IRSDC  and  76%of  GOG.  The  SPV  is  developing Gandhinagar station keeping architecture in harmony with adjoining Mahatma Mandir and Gandhi Kuteer. The SPV shall be responsible for  management  of  station  facilities,  hotel  and  will  have  revenue streams from Mahatma Mandir and Gandhi Kuteer as well.  A works contract (approx ₹ 147 Cr) for redevelopment of Gandhinagar (Gujarat) station along with construction of a 300 room hotel on the air space of the station has been awarded. The foundation stone for this  work  has  been  laid  by  Hon'ble  Prime  Minister  on  09.01.2017. The work of pile foundation is in progress. As of now about 260 piles have been completed out of total 471 piles.

For  Anand  Vihar  (Delhi)  and  Bijwasan  (Delhi)  stations,  after detailed study and preparation of the Detailed Project Reprots, RFQ for redevelopment of Anand Vihar and Bijwasan stations have been finalized  and  13  bidders  shortlisted  for  Anand  Vihar  and  9  for Bijwasan  stations.  Request  for  Financial  Proposal  (RFP)  proposals have  been  called  from  shortlisted  bidders.  The  mandatory  Capital Expenditure (CAPEX) of station development is ₹ 255 Cr for Anand Vihar  (Delhi)  with  total  anticipated  development  of ₹ 600Cr.  For Bijwasan (Delhi) mandatory CAPEX is ₹ 384 Cr and total development value as ₹ 1000 Cr. The RFPs for the both the stations are due to be opened in August 2017.

For Chandigarh and Shivaji Nagar (Pune) stations, the DPR is under finalization in consultation with the local municipal corporations.

For  Amritsar  station,  an  Architectural  consultancy  firm  has been engaged the work for preparation of preliminary basic concept plan.    The  award  of  such  work  for  the  remaining  four  stations

(Gwalior, Gandhinagar (Jaipur), Nagpur and Baiyyappanahalli (Bengaluru) is under process. IRSDC has planned to do this through an international design competition.

Station Redevelopment through General Managers of Zonal Railways

Malaysian consortium has also shown interest to participate in the bidding for redevelopment of railway stations on Indian Railways.  In  recent  past,  in  March/April,  June  and  July  2017, Malaysian  delegations  led  by  senior  officials  including  Minister  of Transport, Minister for Works and the Secretary General/ Ministry of Works, Malaysia have met with Railway officials at Railway Board for station redevelopment work. During the meeting CIDB Malaysia have indicated its interest and participation for few stations during 1 st  phase of bidding, which has started now from Feb 8, 2017 for 23 A1 & A category stations.

It  has  been Railways endeavour to redevelop the stations by leveraging real estate development of spare land and air space in and around the stations. A redeveloped station is envisioned as an iconic  structure  with  its  architecture  reflecting  the  culture  and character of the city where it is located and integrates development for  a  comfortable  and  efficient  passenger  experience,  security, safety and accessibility in a harmonious  and  environmentally sustainable way bringing satisfaction and value to the passenger/user.

The Major components of a redeveloped stations are envisaged as

-  Redevelopment of station building to provide an iconic structure with modern state-of-the-art facilities.
-  Congestion free non-conflicting entry/exit to the station premises.
-  Segregation  of  arrival/departure  of  passengers-  No  conflict between incoming and outgoing passengers.
-  Adequate  concourse  without  overcrowding-  generally  above the platforms/lines.
-  All  essential  facilities  at  concourse-  catering,  small  retail, wash  rooms,  cloak  rooms,  drinking  water,  ATM,  pharmacy, internet, etc.
-  Integration with other modes of public/private transport systems e.g. Bus, Metro, etc.
-  Integrating both sides of the city, i.e. entry/ exit on both sides of the station wherever site conditions permits.
- 
- No parcel movement across the length of platforms.
-  User friendly international signage understandable by all sections of passengers.
-  Additional facilities like retail, shopping,  hospitality, food courts etc.
-  Medical facilities including polyclinics
-  Well  illuminated  circulating  area  and  sufficient  provision  for drop off, pick up and parking.
-  Green  Buildings,  with  optimum  use  of  natural  ventilation  & lighting.
-  Business Centre
-  Skill Development Centre
- 
- Social Infrastructure

Station  redevelopment  is  planned  by  leveraging  commercial development  of  land  &  air  space  in  and  around  the  station.  The revenues realized from real estate development should be sufficient to  at  least  cover  the  entire  cost  of  station  redevelopment  after meeting  the  full  expenditure  on  real  estate  development  and Maintenance  obligations  i.e.  the  station  redevelopment  would  be cost neutral to Railways.

Major constraints of station redevelopment:

Some of the major constraints in Station redevelopment are

- Most of the major Railway stations are located in congested areas  in  city  centres.  Commercial  development  of  land  for financing the station redevelopment will add to footfalls in the area and in term add to congestion at these stations.
- Extensive  discussions  with  local  authorities/bodies  required, for issues pertaining to permissible FAR, integration with other modes of transport, approach infrastructure issues, etc.
- Approval to be obtained from various authorities.
- Station specific issues i.e. Heritage clearances etc.
- Station planning must provide for future expansions of platforms/lines  as  well  as  maintenance  facilities  which  are based on projected traffic for about 40 years. Forecasting for 40 years is not easy.
- Financial  viability  depends  on  real  estate  markets  which  are cyclical and city/location dependent in nature.
- Most  of the stations would  be  brown  field  ones  where redevelopment  works  have  to  be  executed  under  running conditions, taking due precautions for the safety of passengers.

In the overall investment plan for the railways for 2015-20, it had been planned that out of a total investment of ₹ 8.56  lakh  crores, ₹ 1.0  lakh  crores  were  planned  to  be  generated  by  leveraging commercial potential of land for Station Redevelopment, as per the details appended as Appendix-I.  For this it has been decided that to expedite the station redevelopment, the stations would be offered for  development  on  'as  is  where  is'  basis.  In  this  regard,  Union Cabinet approved Railway's proposal for redevelopment of 'A-1' and 'A'  category  stations  (total  about  400  stations)on  'as  is  where  is' basis,  by  inviting  open  bids  from  interested  parties  with  their designs and business ideas duly providing for amenities and other requirements  of the Railways  including  permitting  commercial development  of  real  estate  by  zonal  railways.  The  railway  land  is given for commercial development in above of 45 years. The chosen Developer also manages the facilities of the stations  for  15  years and  make  necessary  expenditure  for  this.  For  this  the  non-fare revenues at the stations like Catering, advertising, parking etc. are passed  on  to  the  developer.  In  doing  so  to  ensure  inclusivity  few catering kiosks would serve the food articles at mandated price as at  present.   The  core  operation  of railway will be remain with the railways. Accordingly guidelines were issued to all Zonal Railways for redevelopment of stations through the above mentioned process.

Accordingly tender documents were developed through RLDA for  stakeholders'  consultations.  After  consultations  with  various Railway  stakeholders  viz.  developers,  consultants,  zonal  railways etc.,  tender  documents  were  amended,  approved  by  Board  and circulated  to  zonal  railways.  The  scheme  will  be  implemented  by the General Railways of the Zonal Railways.

For the redevelopment of about 400 A1 and A stations, 2700 acres of spare railway land has been  identified. M/s Boston Consulting Group (BCG) had been appointed as Strategic Consultant for  this  project.  Based  on  the  studies  undertaken,  M/s  BCG  have given the following broad estimates for the commercial development  cost,  station  redevelopment  cost  (mandatory  capital expenditure) and surplus post-construction:

| S. No.   | Item                                 | Cost Estimate (Rupees in crores)   |
|----------|--------------------------------------|------------------------------------|
| 1        | Cost of commercial development       | 68,000                             |
| 2        | Surplus before station redevelopment | 39,000                             |
| 3        | Station redevelopment cost           | 28,000                             |
| 4        | Overall surplus                      | 11,000                             |
|          | Total                                | 1,07,000                           |

M/s BCG has also indicated that in case non A1 and A stations are also taken up, the investment can be much more. Just for about 100 non A1 and A stations, the total investment is likely to be about ₹ 1,42,000 Crores.

More than 25 rounds of road shows/stakeholder interactions, conferences etc have been conducted within the country and also abroad  in  UAE  and  Malaysia  to  evoke  stakeholder  interest  in  the programme.

M/s  BCG  has  initially  suggested  high  potential  in  about  58 stations. Morever, based on report of the Strategies Advisor detailed discussions  held  with  the  Zonal  Railways,  feedback  from  various stakeholders and collaboration of desktop studies with field visit/deep dive studies, a list of 23 stations was finalised to be taken up  for  bidding  in  first  phase.  Accordingly,  first  phase  of  station redevelopment program by zonal railways was launched on 08.2.2017. Bids  for  redevelopment of  the  23  railway  stations  have been invited in the first phase.  A list of such stations is appended as  Appendix-II.  These  stations  are  spread  over  13  zonal  railways and  13  States.  145  acres  of  land  had  been  identified  and  year marked for this.

Pre-bid conferences  have  been  held  for  all 23  stations. Considering the real estate market sentiment and to evoke bidder interest  for  the  23  stations,  a  large  marketing  initiative  has  been undertaken. In this more than 100 firms of developers, consultants, financers  had  been  contacted  on  one  to  one  basis  and  more  than 600 meetings held with them. Efforts have also been made to have these  firms  form  partnership  amongst  themselves.  The  results  of these  efforts  is  bearing  fruits  and  now  the  bids  for  Jammu  have been opened on 12.07.2017. Bids for other stations of this 1 st  stage are due for opening in July - October 2017.

Bids  for  the  other  35  stations  are  proposed  to  be  invited  in next  phase,  which  shall  inter  alia,  cover  stations  in  all  major States/UTs.

The  Minister for  Railways  has also written to all Chief Ministers to provide all help  and  support  to  this  programme including appointment of Nodal Officers in their States.

Station Redevelopment  in  cooperation with Ministry of  Urban Development (MoUD) in cities with SMART & AMRUT scheme.

The  Government  of  India  has  launched  schemes  of  'SMART Cities' and Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation (AMRUT) for the redevelopment and rejuvenation of the cities with a population of more than 1 lakh and covering Capitals of all States and Union Territories. With a view to provide the cities covered in these schemes  with a redeveloped railway station which is integratedly  planned  with  the  surrounding  parts  of  their  cities,  a Memorandum  of  Understanding  (MoU)  has  been  signed  between Ministry  of  Railways  (MOR)  and  Ministry  of  Urban  Development (MOUD)  for  mutual  cooperation  between  the  two  Ministries  for integrated  planning  of  redevelopment  of  railway  stations  in  the cities  included  in  these  schemes. This  would  lead  to  the  planning and development, integrated public transit hub around the railway stations and encourage Transit Oriented Development.

Station Redevelopment by Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) & National Building Construction Corporation (NBCC).

An  MoU  between  MoUD  and  NBCC  has  been  signed  on 30.06.2017 for development of following 10 stations under this MoU and the process will be further taken up.
