Among the 25 stations within the Southern Railway, Puducherry railway station is destined to undergo a significant transformation under the AMBSS initiative.

According to a statement released by the Southern Railway, the historically significant city of Puducherry, renowned for its tranquil beaches, colonial architectural marvels, and cultural legacy, is on the brink of a substantial overhaul of its railway station. This redevelopment aims to create a modern transportation hub while preserving aesthetics.

The revamping of Puducherry railway station, amounting to a total cost of Rs 930 million, will provide top-notch amenities to accommodate the growing influx of tourists and passengers, as detailed in the release.

The comprehensive plan encompasses the complete reconstruction of the station building, introducing two terminals for the purpose of entry and exit.
