Redevelopment and modernization of the railway platforms in
India is much needed. However, redevelopment and modernization of
identified stations which up to now was only undertaken by the
Government owned Indian Stations Development Corporation Limited
(ISDCL) has not seen much success as the ISDCL has only succeeded
in redeveloping only a few stations, and there was a need to
redevelop many more stations in India to make the rail network in
India more efficient and modern.
Therefore, a scheme has been finally approved by the Union
Cabinet chaired by the Prime Minister of India, whereby stations are proposed to be
redeveloped and modernized through invitation of open bids from
interested parties.
