The redevelopment of Tatanagar railway station, a Rs 350-crore project, is projected for completion by the close of 2028. Additional General Manager Manish Jain has urged officials to prioritize passenger amenities and operational efficiency during the construction phase.
The ambitious Gati Shakti model station project, launched in February 2024, encompasses a modern six-storey, air-conditioned main building capable of seating over 2,000 passengers. A secondary three-storey building at the Burmamines end will offer passenger amenities and commercial spaces. Significant infrastructure upgrades include expanding parking to 10,000 vehicles and installing 14 escalators and 16 lifts.
Further developments include preparations for a Vande Bharat coaching depot and the upcoming construction of a third railway line between Tatanagar and Adityapur, aimed at improving train operations. Non-interlocking works are scheduled across Kharagpur, Adra, and Ranchi divisions. Separately, a Sikh delegation requested daily service for the Tatanagar-Amritsar Jallianwala Bagh Express, replacing its current winter suspension and twice-weekly frequency.
