Indian  Railways  has  made  known  to  public  its plan  to  offer  'A-1'  and  'A'  category  stations  for  redevelopment  on  'as  is where  is'  basis  by  inviting  proposals  from  interested  parties  with  their designs and business ideas.  The entire cost of station redevelopment is to be met by leveraging commercial development of land and air space in and around the station. M/s.

Based on  recommendation  of  M/s.  BCG,  23  railway  stations  in  13  States  have been  taken  up  for  bidding  by  13  Zonal  Railways  recently  in  the  first phase. The State-wise details of these stations are as under:
