| Period                | ROBs/ RUBs constructed                             |
|-----------------------|----------------------------------------------------|
| 2004-14               | 4,148 Nos.                                         |
| 2014-26 (Upto Jan'26) | 14,024 Nos. (1,594 Nos. in the State of Rajasthan) |

As on 01.02.2026, 4,802 Nos. ROBs/ RUBs works are sanctioned at a cost of ₹ 1,14,196 Crore on Indian Railways including 607 Nos. ROBs/ RUBs works at a cost of ₹ 6,115 Crore in the state of Rajasthan which are at various stages of planning and execution.

Completion  &  commissioning  of  ROB/RUB  works  depends  on  various factors  like  cooperation  of   State  Governments  in  giving   consent  for closure of LC, fixing of approach alignment, approval of General Arrangement  Drawing  (GAD),  land  acquisition,  removal  of  encroachment, shifting of infringing utilities, statutory clearances from various authorities,   law  and  order  situation  in  the  area  of  project  /  work  sites, duration of working season in a year for the particular project / area  due to climatic conditions etc.  All these factors affect the completion time of the projects / works.

Further, Railways have taken following measures to expedite the progress of work:

- i. Joint  survey  with  concerned  State  Govt./Road  Owning  Authority  is done  before  finalizing  the  General  Arrangement  Drawing   (GAD)  to ensure smooth execution.
- ii. Periodic meetings of Railway & State Government officials are done to resolve various issues related to ROB/RUB works.
- iii. Standardization of superstructure drawings for various combinations of  span,  skewness  and  width  of  road  on  Railway  portion  has  been done to avoid delays during the design approval. This has been issued in  the form of compendium, which can be directly adopted for Road Over Bridge across Railway lines for expeditious planning.

## Station Redevelopment:

Ministry  of  Railways  has  launched  Amrit  Bharat  Station  Scheme  for redevelopment of stations with a long-term approach.

The scheme involves preparation of master plans and their implementation in phases to improve the stations. The master planning, keeping in view the necessity at each station includes:

-  Improvement of access to station and circulating areas
-  Integration of station with both sides of city
-  Improvement of station building
-  Improvement  of  waiting  halls,  toilets,  sitting  arrangement,  water booths

-  Provision of wider foot over bridge/air concourse commensurate with passenger traffic
-  Provision of lift/escalators/ramp
-  Improvement /Provision of platform surface and cover over platforms
-  Provision  of  kiosks  for  local  products  through  schemes  like  'One Station One Product'
-  Parking areas, Multimodal integration
-  Amenities for Divyangjans
-  Better passenger information systems
-  Provision of executive lounges, nominated  spaces  for business meetings, landscaping, etc.

The scheme also envisages sustainable and environment friendly solutions, provision of ballastless tracks etc. as per necessity, phasing and feasibility and creation of city centre at the station in the long term.

So far, 1,338 stations have been identified for development under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. Out of these, 85 stations are located in Rajasthan including  18  stations  in  Jaipur  Division.  The  name  of  stations  identified under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme in Rajasthan are as following:

Indian Railways has a well established mechanism to monitor implementation  of  projects  including  their  reviews,  inspection,  check  for quality  of  works  and  audits.  Works  are  carried  out  adhering  to  the standards  and  specifications  laid  down  in  various  codes  and  manuals. Inspections/audits/checks  are  carried  out  from  time  to  time  by  various agencies/officials/multi-disciplinary  teams  as  per  laid  down  instructions and actions for correction including damages are taken immediately. This is  a  continuous and ongoing process and centralized compendium for the same is not maintained.

Development / Upgradation of 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 brownfield related challenges such as shifting of utilities (involving water/sewage lines, optical fibre 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.

Completion of Railway project/s depends on various factors which include the following:

-  Land acquisition by State Government
-  Forest clearance
-  Shifting of infringing utilities
-  Statutory clearances from various authorities
-  Geological and topographical conditions of area
-  Law and order situation in the area of project site
-  Number of working months in a year for particular project site etc.

All these factors affect the completion time and cost of the project/s.

Various steps taken by the Government for effective and speedy implementation of rail projects include:

-  Substantial increase in allocation of funds.
-  Delegation of powers at field level.
-  Close monitoring of progress of project at various levels.
-  Regular follow up with State Governments and concerned authorities for expeditious land acquisition, forestry and Wildlife clearances and for resolving other issues pertaining to projects.
