Gwalior Railway Station Redevelopment Set for Swift Completion

17 Sep 2025 CW Team

Union Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia visited the under-construction Gwalior Railway Station on Sunday, a key modernisation project, and instructed officials to expedite its completion.

During his site visit, the Minister inspected construction materials and design elements, emphasising the use of high-quality stone flooring that reflects Gwalior’s rich culture and heritage. He stressed that quality should not be compromised.

“Redevelopment of Gwalior Railway Station is not just about modernising the structure but also providing world-class facilities to passengers. The development will reflect heritage values and boost tourism in the Gwalior-Chambal region,” Scindia said. He further instructed officials to accelerate work to ensure timely completion.

The redevelopment, delayed beyond its original December 2024 timeline, is being executed at a cost of Rs 5.35 billion and will cover 48,061 square metres. Deputy Chief Engineer Akash Yadav was transferred two months ago due to slow progress.

Once completed, the iconic station will combine heritage aesthetics with modern facilities, including enhanced illumination, escalators and lifts for accessibility, clear wayfinding signage, a spacious roof plaza, improved waiting areas, and passenger recreational amenities. The project aims to deliver a world-class experience while showcasing the city’s art, culture, and heritage.
