The Government of India under a separate policy is implementing Station Redevelopment Programme through Indian Railway Station Development Corporation Ltd (IRSDC) on ‘as is where is’ basis. Accordingly, all the stations on Indian Railways have been entrusted to IRSDC and other Government agencies for undertaking the techno-economic feasibility studies. The stations are planned to be taken up for redevelopment in phases based on the outcome of the feasibility studies. These stations are mostly located in major cities, pilgrimage centres and important tourist destinations. In reply to a question in Rajya Sabha, the Minister of Railways and Commerce & Industry, Shri Piyush Goyal has informed the house about the ongoing redevelopment work at Gandhinagar (Gujrat) and Habibganj (Madhya Pradesh) stations.
