The redevelopment of Nagpur railway station is progressing steadily and remains on track to be completed by December next year, according to the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA). Once the redevelopment work is concluded, the station will have the capacity to accommodate 98,000 passengers daily. Currently, the project has reached 33% completion following preparatory work and the relocation of existing utilities.
“The project is 33 per cent completed after accomplishing all preparatory works and shifting existing utilities at the site. Construction work on the eastern as well as the western sides of the station is progressing as planned and this project will be completed in December 2025 as per its schedule,” RLDA stated.
Enhancing capacity of Nagpur railway station to 98,000
The revamped Nagpur railway station is designed with facilities to handle 98,000 passengers per day. It will feature separate Foot Over Bridges (FOBs) for arrivals and departures, along with a 108-meter-wide concourse that includes a roof plaza housing various amenities and retail options.
Regarding operational adjustments, RLDA mentioned that a temporary new booking counter is ready for relocation.
“The temporary new booking counter is ready for relocation. However, to avoid inconvenience to passengers, it is planned to shift the booking counter only after the provision of a staircase connection at the new location to the South FOB on platform 8 is established,” it said.
Parking, Foot over bridges and more
On the west side, the station will have a departure and arrival plaza (G+2) with a basement parking area spanning 3,420 sq m.
Additionally, a designated circulating area will ensure smooth traffic flow for taxis, cars, and auto rickshaws, facilitating convenient drop-off and pick-up.
RLDA also noted that upcoming work includes platform upgrades for FOBs and the concourse, with steelwork fabrication currently underway in workshops.
This brownfield project is being executed in phases to minimise disruption to train operations and ensure minimal inconvenience to passengers, while also preserving the heritage aspects of the station.
