Development  /  Redevelopment  /  Upgradation  /  Modernisation  of stations  on  Indian  Railways  is  a  continuous  and  ongoing  process  and works in this regard are undertaken as per requirement, subject to inter-se priority and availability of funds. The priority for development / redevelopment  /  upgradation  /  modernisation  of  stations  is  accorded  to higher category of station over lower category of station while sanctioning and executing the works. Development  /  Redevelopment  /  Upgradation  /  Modernisation  of railway  stations  is  complex  in  nature  involving  safety  of  passengers  & trains  and  requires  various  statutory  clearances  such  as  fire  clearance, heritage,  tree  cutting,  air-port  clearance  etc.  The  progress  also  gets affected due to brownfield related challenges such as shifting of utilities (involving water/sewage lines, optical fiber cables, gas pipe lines, power/signal  cables,  etc.),  infringements,  operation  of  trains  without hindering  passenger  movement,  speed  restrictions  due  to  works  carried out  in  close  proximity  of  tracks  and  high  voltage  power  lines,  etc.  and these factors affect the completion time. Therefore, no time frame can be indicated at this stage.
