Phased Redevelopment Planned for Pune Railway Station

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw announced a phased redevelopment plan for Pune railway station to improve infrastructure and passenger amenities. The project aims to modernise the station while preserving its heritage elements.

Key upgrades include expanding the station's capacity and integrating advanced technologies for better service management. The redevelopment will focus on enhancing passenger experience with improved facilities such as waiting areas, restrooms, and digital information systems.

The plan also includes the construction of additional platforms and improved accessibility features to accommodate growing passenger numbers. The project is designed to ease congestion and streamline operations, ensuring a smoother transit experience.

Vaishnaw emphasised that the redevelopment will maintain the station's historical significance while incorporating modern design elements. This balance aims to preserve the cultural heritage of Pune while meeting contemporary needs.

Environmental sustainability is a priority, with initiatives to incorporate eco-friendly practices in construction and daily operations. The redevelopment seeks to create a more efficient and green transport hub.

The phased approach allows for continuous station operation during the upgrade process, minimising disruptions for passengers. This strategy ensures that the station remains functional while transformations are underway.

The redevelopment of Pune railway station is part of a broader initiative to enhance railway infrastructure across the country. The project promises to boost local economic growth and improve the overall travel experience, aligning with the government's commitment to modernising India's transportation network.
