Historic Bengaluru Cantt station to get 2-phase makeover

23 Dec 2022 CW Team

Bengaluru Cantonment, one of the oldest railways stations on the South Western Railway (SWR) network, is undergoing a makeover. The project is being executed in engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) mode by Delhi-based Varindera Construction Pvt Ltd, which got the letter of award (LoA) earlier this month. Completion is targeted in 36 months.

The makeover will be in two phases. In the first phase, at a cost of Rs 450 million, the Bengaluru Cantt station’s yard is being remodelled. Two additional island platforms are being constructed. Three additional lines are also being constructed which would enable the operation of the increased number of trains, hence easing the pressure on KSR Bengaluru railway station. The remodelling of the Bengaluru Cantt railway yard is targeted to be done By February 2023.

Also, a foot over-bridge is being constructed which would connect Borebank Road to Netaji Road.

In the second phase, at a cost of Rs 4.80 billion, the station building will be redeveloped. This will make Bengaluru Cantt a world-class airport-like terminal. The railway station would be redeveloped as a ‘city centre’. However, the new structure will preserve the existing heritage elements of the existing building. The architectural elevation attempts to capture the spirit of the Bengaluru city.

Bengaluru, the capital of Karnataka state, is the centre of the country’s technology industry and the start-up capital of India. It has a population of more than eight million, making it India’s third most populous city.
