The Ministry of Railways, RLDA, and Indian Railway Stations Development Corporation (IRSDC) held a session with various stakeholders about the model concession agreement (MCA) finalisation for station development using the public-private partnership (PPP) model.

The concerns of various stakeholders need to be addressed, to make the program a success. To have a smooth execution of this program, the ministry has shared the draft MCA and held this webinar for effective participation of the stakeholders in the process, said Dudeja.

Those who attended the webinar involved Bharti Realty Limited, I-Squared capital, Anchorage Infrastructure Investments Holdings Limited, Brookfield Global Asset Management, Adani Infra, and many more.

For the redevelopment of railway stations, private corporations bidding will get compensation if the railways delay the cost of station extension charge by higher than every week.

The Ministry of Railways has given a draft guideline for the builders chosen for the railway station redevelopment, the place the builders may even supply rebate in case the railway makes the price within three days of the deadline.
