01 Oct 2021 CW Team

The South Western Railway and the Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation Limited (IRSDC) will take up facility management of 90 more stations in a phased manner.

The IRSDC and Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) are working on 125 stations as part of the Government of India's station redevelopment agenda, with private players participating as part of Public-Private Partnership (PPP) projects, according to the South Western Railway.

IRSDC is working on 63 of the 125 stations, RLDA is working on 60, and South Western Railway is working on the remaining two stations, according to the company. The total investment required for the redevelopment of 125 stations, as well as real estate development, is estimated to be around Rs 50,000 crore, according to the South Western Railway.

The KSR Bengaluru station was recently inspected by the Passenger Amenities Committee (PAC). According to the South Western Railway, the ADRM SBC, railway officials, and Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC) officials all welcomed the committee members.

The IRSDC is in charge of the KSR railway station's facility management. According to the South Western Railway, a brief about the station was given to the team by Nodal officer IRSDC, after which the committee inspected the station with a special focus on cleanliness, catering stalls, fans, lighting, waiting rooms, and toilets.

The members also went to the Railway Station to see India's first movable freshwater tunnel aquarium and Yulu Ebike services, which were both recently opened. They praised IRSDC for taking the initiative to bring such programmes to the railway station.

The committee recommended that officials improve waiting rooms and provide more fans. Railway officials were advised to install more baggage scanners and better equip available medical centres to improve security and medical facilities.

IRSDC has been tasked with facility management at five railway stations, including KSR Bengaluru, Pune, Anand Vihar, Chandigarh, and Secunderabad, to improve customer experience and make travel safe and hassle-free.
