Mysuru City Railway Station redevelopment set to begin
New Delhi: Union Minister of State (MoS) for Railways V. Somanna has directed the South Western Railway (SWR) Mysuru Division officials to make preparations for the redevelopment of Mysuru City Railway Station worth Rs. 356 crore.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi had laid the foundation stone for this ambitious project during his visit to Mysuru in June 2022.
During a meeting in New Delhi with former Mysuru-Kodagu MP Prathap Simha, Minister Somanna assured that the project works would commence within 20 days.
Now that the re-tendering process is complete, Simha urged Somanna to ensure timely initiation of works, emphasising the need to cater to increasing passenger demand with enhanced amenities, expanded platforms, and improved train services.
The redevelopment project aims to transform City Railway Station into a world-class facility while preserving its heritage charm. A techno-feasibility study for the yard’s development, conducted by the Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS), has already provided a roadmap for the project.
