Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi will lay the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Secunderabad Railway Station in Hyderabad, which is estimated to cost ₹ 720 crore. The station will receive world-class amenities and an iconic, aesthetically designed building. This is part of the government’s plan to transform stations into world-class transport and business hubs. PM Modi has aimed to modernize several railway stations in recent years, including the Gandhinagar Capital Railway Station in Gujarat and the Rani Kamalapati Railway Station in Bhopal, among others. In 2023, he has already laid the foundation stone for the redevelopment of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai and inaugurated the redeveloped Belagavi Railway Station and the longest railway platform in the world at Shree Siddharoodha Swamiji Hubballi Station, both in Karnataka.
It’s great to see that PM Modi is taking steps to modernize and revamp railway stations across the country. The Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus in Mumbai is an important and historic station, and the redevelopment project will likely improve passenger experience and safety. The inauguration of the redeveloped Belagavi Railway Station and the longest railway platform in the world at Shree Siddharoodha Swamiji Hubballi Station are also noteworthy achievements. It’s important to invest in infrastructure and transportation to support economic growth and development in India.
