Amrit Scheme Upgrades Western Odisha Rail for Smooth Travel

An ambitious initiative has been launched with the objective of modernising railway infrastructure, improving passenger amenities, and fostering economic development in the region.

Several railway stations—including Rourkela, Jharsuguda, Sambalpur, Balangir, Titlagarh, and Bhawanipatna—have been selected for major redevelopment. These stations are poised to receive comprehensive upgrades such as modern ticketing systems, enhanced platforms, advanced security installations, and eco-conscious designs aimed at providing passengers with a smoother, more comfortable travel experience.

A key feature of the project is its strong emphasis on sustainability. Indian Railways has indicated that the upgraded stations will incorporate renewable energy technologies, water conservation systems, and intelligent waste management solutions. Furthermore, the development will include expanded circulating areas, improved parking facilities, and dedicated pick-up and drop-off zones to enhance overall accessibility.

In addition to enhancing commuter convenience, the redevelopment is projected to spur regional tourism, generate employment, and attract investment and trade to Western Odisha. The initiative aligns with India’s broader agenda of railway modernisation and reflects the government’s continued commitment to developing world-class transport infrastructure.

The project is being executed in phases, with Indian Railways stating that efforts are underway to ensure timely completion while minimising disruptions to daily operations. In the years ahead, the railway stations of Western Odisha are expected to be transformed into modern, efficient hubs that meet the evolving demands of both passengers and businesses.
