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.

Development works at railway stations under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme have been taken up at a good pace. Till now, works have been completed at 208 stations. Names of stations completed so far are as following:

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

Rani  Kamalapati  station  in  Madhya  Pradesh  has  already  been  developed and  commissioned  under  PPP  model.  Out  of  15  stations  identified  for redevelopment under PPP model, the bid for redevelopment of Vijayawada station  has  been  invited.  The  other  14  stations  are  at  various  stages  of master planning and financial modelling.

Further, funding from private investment depends upon numbers of variable e.g.  the  cost  of  the  projects,  revenue  stream  available,  station  footfall, locality around the station. Therefore, it cannot be indicated at this stage.

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.

Development / upgradation of stations including under Amrit Bharat Station Scheme is generally funded under Plan Head-53 'Customer Amenities'. The details of allocation under Plan Head-53 are maintained Zonal Railway-wise and not station-wise or State-wise. Udaipur City railway station falls under the jurisdiction of North Western Railway (NWR) for which a total allocation of  ₹  907  crores  (RE)  has  been  made  for  the  financial  year  2025-26  under Plan Head-53.

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.
