40% of Secunderabad Railway Station Redevelopment Complete

17 Feb 2025 CW Team

The demolition of the Secunderabad railway station’s main building has begun, with significant progress made on the right end of the terminal, including the RPF office, which has been largely reduced to rubble. The demolition work is being carried out in phases to minimise disruptions for passengers. The existing structure, which had various structural problems, required redevelopment. The project, valued at approximately Rs 7.20 billion, aims to modernize the station by constructing a ground-plus-three-floor building.

The station, built in 1874 during the Nizam era, was originally the main terminal for the Nizam’s Guaranteed State Railway (NGSR). After the merger of Nizam Railways with Indian Railways in 1951, the station underwent significant renovations in 1952. While platform one remains in use, some trains will be rerouted to the Cherlapalli terminal next month.

Previously, a 100-metre section near the Ganesh Temple was demolished to make way for a multi-level parking complex, which is currently under construction. A temporary booking office has been set up, and a new RPF building has been completed.

On the south side of the station, construction of the basement is nearly 90% finished. The ground floor will serve as a drop-off zone, while the basement levels will offer parking for 200 vehicles. Approximately 40 per cent of the total redevelopment work has been completed, and the project is expected to be finished by November this year.
