†4055. SHRIMATI VEENA DEVI: PROF. PREM SINGH CHANDUMAJRA:

Will the Minister of RAILWAYS be pleased to state:

- (a) whether the Government has decided to implement the scheme of re-development of railway stations through public-private sector,  joint venture companies;
- (b)  if  so,  the  details  thereof  and  the  number  of  railway  stations identified for the said purpose, zone/State-wise; and
- (c) the time by which the re-development of these stations is likely to be completed?

## ANSWER

## MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI RAJEN GOHAIN)

(a) to (c): Indian Railway has advertised its plan to redevelop 'A-1' and 'A' category stations on 'as is where is' basis, by inviting proposals from developers with their designs and business ideas.  The entire cost of station redevelopment is to be met by leveraging commercial development of land and air space in and around the stations. Details of 'A-1' and 'A' category stations, State-wise and zone-wise are appended.

Station  redevelopment  projects  are  complex  in  nature  and require  detailed  techno-economic  feasibility  studies  and  statutory clearances  from  local  bodies.    Therefore,  no  time  frame  can  be indicated, at this stage.
