Lucknow To Get Modern Integrated Bus Terminal

07 Jul 2025 CW Team

The Uttar Pradesh cabinet has approved the development of an Integrated City Bus Terminal and Commercial Zone at the P4 Parking site in Vrindavan Yojna, Lucknow. The project promises to deliver a state-of-the-art facility aimed at improving public transport, easing congestion, and enhancing commuter convenience.

Spread over 28,56,728 square feet (7.06 acres), the terminal will be developed on a design, build, finance, operate, and transfer (DBFOT) basis through a public-private partnership (PPP) model. The land, acquired from the Awas Vikas Parishad for Rs 1.5 billion, will be leased to a private developer for 60 years.

Estimated to cost Rs 3.8 billion (excluding land), the project allocates Rs 1.05 billion for the terminal and Rs 2.75 billion for commercial and utility spaces. Facilities will include air-conditioned waiting halls, passenger lounges, reservation counters, kiosks, toilets, medical aid room, creche, cloak and parcel rooms, ATM, and security booths.

The terminal will support operations of Lucknow’s existing fleet of 141 electric and 52 CNG buses, with provision for 150 more electric buses, strengthening green urban mobility.

As per the PPP terms, the private developer will design the terminal, obtain all clearances, finance and construct the project within 36 months for the terminal and 60 months for the commercial zones. The developer will manage and maintain the complex for 60 years before transferring it back to the state government.

Principal Secretary of Urban Development Amrit Abhijat called the initiative a “landmark decision” for boosting Lucknow’s transport infrastructure.
