NBCC will be executing this project on a self-revenue generation model by commercial utilisation of vacant railway land parcels.

NBCC, which has wide experience in constructing and developing modern day infrastructure, will carry out the redevelopment of these railway stations on lines of smart development to enhance passenger amenities, create congestion-free station premises, seamless integration with other modes of transport and passenger friendly services; while incorporating green building and energy-efficient features.

“The redevelopment work related to the expansion and modernisation of railway stations, beautification of railway premises and building world-class infrastructure, is in line with the government’s thrust to make railways as the preferred choice for travel; and NBCC is proud to be a partner of Ministry of Railways” said Dr Anoop Kumar Mittal, Chairman & Managing Director, NBCC. “We will deploy the best of manpower and resources to mark this as an iconic structure in the Lucknow city”, he added.

The project includes features like integrated green field development, modern terminal building, segregated arrival and departure zone, passenger lounge areas, adequate concourse space, food courts, Budget Hotels (at Charbagh railway station), escalators, shopping facilities, lifts, cloak room, etc.

The company is working towards transforming the landscape of cities and towns for the ultimate realisation of the “New India” vision.
