- Seven Delhi railway stations transforming into multi-modal transit hubs.
- Connecting trains, metro, Namo Bharat, and bus services.
- PMO monitoring project; Northern Railway is nodal agency.
Santosh Kumar Singh, New Delhi: To help passengers easily reach metro stations and buses across the Delhi-NCR region after leaving railway terminals, plans are underway to transform Anand Vihar Terminal, Hazrat Nizamuddin, and several other key stations into integrated multi-modal transit hubs.
Under the project, train terminals will link directly to nearby metro stations, Namo Bharat train networks, and bus stands through skywalks, foot overbridges (FOBs), and underground subways. Additionally, these hubs will feature dedicated parking, EV charging, and last-mile connectivity to enhance passenger convenience and reduce traffic congestion.
Work At Major Stations
Anand Vihar Terminal: Already connected to the Metro and ISBT via a foot overbridge (FOB). A skywalk with travelators has been proposed to connect the terminal to the Namo Bharat train station, Metro, and Kaushambi Bus Terminal.
Hazrat Nizamuddin: Currently connected to the Namo Bharat station via an FOB with travelators, with plans to facilitate access to the nearby bus terminal and metro.
New Delhi Railway Station: As part of its redevelopment, the station, which houses the Yellow Line and Airport Express Metro stations, will integrate the upcoming Indralok-Indraprastha corridor and local bus networks.
Northern Railway Designated As Nodal Agency
The Prime Minister's Office (PMO) is directly monitoring the project to prevent negligence. Officials from the PMO recently held a meeting with the Railways and other relevant departments regarding the project. Northern Railway has been designated as the nodal agency to coordinate with various departments and finalise the Detailed Project Reports (DPRs).
