Secunderabad station redevelopment works nears major milestone
The redevelopment of Secunderabad Railway Station under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme has reached 64 per cent completion. The Rs. 714.73 crore project will introduce modern passenger amenities, improved Metro connectivity, multi-level parking and enhanced transport integration while maintaining regular rail operations.
Hyderabad: The large-scale redevelopment of the Secunderabad Railway Station, one of the busiest rail hubs in the country, is progressing steadily, with authorities reporting that nearly 64 per cent of the project has been completed.
Taken up under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme at an estimated cost of Rs. 714.73 crore, the project aims to transform the historic station into a modern, world-class transit facility capable of handling growing passenger traffic while offering improved amenities and seamless connectivity. Secunderabad station currently handles around 180 trains every day and witnesses an average daily footfall of nearly 1.5 lakh passengers.
South Central Railway officials said the redevelopment is being carried out in phases while ensuring that train operations and passenger services continue without major disruption.
Among the prominent features planned for the revamped station are architecturally distinctive station buildings, a two-level air concourse, platform roofing, multi-level parking facilities, 26 elevators, 32 escalators, Metro connectivity through dedicated skywalks, modern passenger amenities, solar power generation facilities, EV charging infrastructure and an advanced surveillance network.
Officials said several key components have already been completed, including the temporary booking office, the Railway Protection Force (RPF) building, the foot over bridge at the Kazipet end and the south-side approach road.
Construction activities are currently underway on the south-side basement, arrival area and station building, while work is also progressing on the north-side station building and multi-level parking complex.
Other ongoing works include the air concourse, platform cover structures, Hyderabad-end foot over bridge, travelator-equipped FOBs, underground water reservoirs, sewage treatment plant and skywalk connections linking the station with Secunderabad East and West Metro stations.
The upgraded station is being designed to significantly improve passenger convenience and accessibility while strengthening multimodal transport integration.
Once completed, the redeveloped complex is expected to emerge as a modern railway gateway for Telangana and a key transportation landmark in Hyderabad.
