The Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) opened the financial bid after the Delhi station submission for the redevelopment project of Ahmedabad railway station in which Afcons Infrastructure quoted INR 5,355 crore which is the lowest bid among all three bidders.
The iconic Modhera Sun Temple will inspire the redeveloped Ahmedabad station. The redevelopment will be built as iconic architecture to become a new landmark towards Kalupur side with distinct towers. It will have 15 acres of roof plazas above the track, providing facilities such as toilets, drinking water, retail kiosk, baby care rooms and waiting area for passengers.
In addition, a 13 km lane of the elevated road system has been planned to prevent crowding near the station with a roof plaza that will also merge the railway station along with the bullet train station, Metro station, BRT corridor, city buses and taxis.
