Pune Railway Station Yard Remodelling Project Blueprint Finalised

The Railway authorities have finalised a comprehensive blueprint to remodel Pune Railway Station, which includes modernising the platforms and yard infrastructure. Tenders for various components of the project are expected to be issued soon, signalling that the yard remodelling initiative is finally progressing. The railway administration has indicated that the initial phase of the work is likely to commence between February and March of the coming year.

This project has been under discussion for several years. Due to the large number of passengers arriving in Pune from other states—particularly during the busy summer holiday season—the railway administration had to postpone the work to avoid causing inconvenience to commuters.

In preparation for the remodelling, the Railway Ministry has set deadlines for completing development work at Hadapsar and Khadki stations, which are being readied as alternative terminals.

A senior railway official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, explained that the Pune railway administration plans to expand certain sections of the station as part of the remodelling. Two new platforms are scheduled to be constructed, while four existing platforms will be extended to accommodate longer trains.

He also mentioned that the Engineering Department of Indian Railways has finalised the technical blueprint for the project. Based on this plan, a tendering process will be undertaken to ensure swift progress. The official assured that all efforts would be made to minimise inconvenience to passengers during peak travel periods.

During the execution of the project, a significant number of train cancellations may occur, which could affect many passengers. To reduce disruption, the railway administration intends to divert some train traffic to Hadapsar and Khadki terminals.

While passengers remain cautious about the upcoming work, Sunil Jadhav, a regular commuter, expressed mixed feelings. He welcomed the remodelling plan, acknowledging that Pune Railway Station is in urgent need of an upgrade. However, he also voiced concern about the potential impact on daily schedules, especially if trains are cancelled or rerouted, which could cause major disruptions for officegoers like himself. He emphasised that while some inconvenience might be acceptable for long-term improvements, timely communication and clear planning are essential to prevent chaos.
