Imagine a railway station run by the private sector?
In a significant move, the Railways are preparing a blueprint to set up greenfield railway terminals across the country under private-public partnership.
................
The Railways have identified 16 stations, which would be modernised under the public-private partnership in various parts of the country. These include New Delhi, Chennai, Howrah, Mumbai CST, Bangalore, Bhopal and Lucknow amongst others.
.................
Meanwhile, the ministry has selected the UK based company Terry Farrell and Partners, an architectural firm, for preparing the feasibility report and master plan for modernisation of New Delhi Railway Station.
The modernisation of stations would include setting up shopping and food plazas, budget hotels and retiring rooms.
