    A twin dome-shaped facade will come up at New Delhi station, replacing the existing structure.

    Adani Reality and Archon Infra are among six other companies who have participated in the pre-bid meeting of the Ahmedabad station redevelopment project.

    The station redevelopment programme is a flagship programme of the government of India. RLDA, a statutory authority under the Ministry of Railways, has been entrusted with the task of redevelopment of many iconic stations.

    The station redevelopment is intrinsically linked to urban rejuvenation. The redevelopment of these stations will offer world-class amenities to passengers and enhance their travel experience.

    It will also lead to a multiplier effect on the local economy, boosting retail, real estate and tourism, and generate employment opportunities.

    The first pre-bid conference in connection with re-development of New Delhi and
    Ahmedabad railway stations and construction of associated infrastructure on an engineering procurement and construction (EPC) mode were held on 7 November 2022 and 9 November 2022 respectively.

    The meetings were held both online and offline. It was well attended with all prospective bidders participating along with vendors as well as officials of RLDA.

    Bidders provided several suggestions and raised many queries, which will be responded to subsequently.
