Title - Platform set for railway stations facelift - The New Indian Express

The Indian Railways will revive its ambitious programme of modernising railway stations through public private participation (PPP) route. Every new incumbent at the Rail Bhavan since the past five terms has not been able to achieve the feat and none have been successful in bringing the proposed project even to the drawing board stage.

In the Rail Budget for 2012, the then Railways Minister, Dinesh Trivedi mooted the same plan but it met with little success. The present incumbent Pawan Kumar Bansal, in his recently held press conference, reiterated that a Railway Stations Development Corporation will be launched to renovate and redevelop five railway stations as pilot project.
