Further,  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 / upgradation / modernisation of a station are carried out based on category priority and availability of funds. Development / redevelopment of station/condition/traffic handled etc.

Ministry  of  Railways  explored  various  models  of  development  of  stations including  Public  Private  Partnership  (PPP).  Rani  Kamalapati  station  in Madhya Pradesh has already been developed and commissioned under PPP

model.

Out  of  15  stations  identified  for  redevelopment  under  PPP ,  the  bid  for redevelopment  of  Vijayawada  station  has  been  invited.  The  other  14

stations are at various stages of master planning and financial modelling.

For  redevelopment  of  Rani  Kamalapati  station,  an  investment  of  Rs.  115 Crores was made by concessionaire. Further, an amount of Rs. 47.46 Cr. has  been  received  by  railways  for  additional  built  up  area  given  to concessionaire. Additionally, an amount of Rs. 2.37 crores towards revenue share has been received from concessionaire.

Further,  development/redevelopment/upgradation  of  Railway  Stations  is complex  in  nature  involving  safety  of  passengers  &  trains  and  requires various statutory clearances such as fire clearance, heritage, tree cutting, airport clearance etc. The progress also gets affected due to brown field 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  high voltage  power  lines  etc.  and  these  factors  affect  the  completion  time. Therefore, no time frame can be indicated at this stage.
