RLDA is also working on 60 stations in a phased manner, whereas its subsidiary IRSDC has taken up additional 63 stations.

In the first redevelopment phase, RLDA has focused on prominent stations such as New Delhi, Tirupati, Dehradun, Nellore, Puducherry, and Cuttack for the redevelopment. The railway stations in India will be redeveloped over a Private-Public Partnership (PPP) model as a part of the Smart City Project launched by the government of India.
