About the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme
The Amrit Bharat Station Scheme (ABSS) was launched by the Ministry of Railways in December 2022 as a long-term, phased master-planning initiative to redevelop railway stations into modern city centres rather than one-off facelifts.
As on date, redevelopment works had been completed at 261 railway stations under the Amrit Bharat Station Scheme. The scheme envisages the redevelopment of 1,340 railway stations across the country in a phased manner, with works at the remaining stations progressing at various stages.
This is one of the largest station-modernisation programmes in the world with construction under way in various phases across the country. The scheme covers upgrades such as improved station buildings and waiting halls, wider foot-over-bridges and air concourses, better circulating and parking areas, Divyangjan-friendly access (ramps, tactile paths, lifts), modern signage and passenger-information systems, executive lounges, and, where feasible, sustainable and city-integrated design.
