(a)  :    Yes,  Madam.  Some  representation  were  received  to  upgrade  the Stations  of  Kerala  including  Kannur  railway  Stations  under  'Adarsh Station Scheme'.

(b) :  Recently some stations including Kannur south stations have been identified for development under 'Adarsh Station Scheme'.

(c) to (e) :  Government  of  Andhra  Pradesh  has  proposed  the  following railway stations for development under PPP mode:

Vijayawada, Visakhapatnam, Rajuhmundry, Trupati/Renigunta, Gudur and Guntakal.

Guntur,

It  has been planned to offer 'A-1' and 'A' category stations (about 400 stations) on Indian Railways for redevelopment 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. The entire cost of station redevelopment is to be met by leveraging commercial development of land and air space in and around the  stations.  Guidelines  in  this  regard  have  been  issued  to  Zonal Railways.  The  above  mentioned  stations  are  in  the  list  of  stations proposed  to  be  offered  for  redevelopment  once  the  modalities  in  this regard are put in place.

Station  Redevelopment  projects  are  complex  in  nature  which require detailed techno-economic feasibility studies and statutory clearance from local bodies. It is, therefore, not possible to provide time limit at this stage for completion of these projects.
