The refurbished Nagpur railway station, designed to accommodate 98,000 visitors daily, is expected to be ready by December 2025, according to the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA), a statutory body under the Ministry of Railways. An RLDA official reported that after completing preparatory works and relocating existing utilities at the site, construction on both the eastern (Cotton Market side) and western sides (platform no. 1) of the station was progressing steadily and would be finished as scheduled by December next year. The official also mentioned that approximately 33% of the physical work on the project had been completed.

The redeveloped station will have dedicated areas for arrivals and departures, with separate foot-over bridges (FOBs) and a 108-metre-wide concourse featuring a roof plaza that includes passenger amenities and retail options. On the western side, the station will feature a departure and arrival plaza with a 3,420 square metre basement parking area and a circulating area with defined lanes for taxis, cars, and autos, ensuring smooth passage with drop-off and pick-up facilities.

On the eastern side, the station will have an arrival building and a departure building with a unified basement of approximately 13,250 square metres. The design ensures smooth traffic flow with both basement and surface parking available on both sides of the station.
