No time frame can be indicated for the redevelopment of New Delhi Railway Station as the project is first-of-its-kind and "complex" in nature, the railways ministry told parliament on Wednesday.
In a written reply in Lok Sabha, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said the Ministry of Railways has entrusted the work of redevelopment of New Delhi Railway Station to the Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) under Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode.
The process for preparation of Detailed Project Report, master plan and bid documents has been initiated by RLDA, he said.
"Station redevelopment projects at this scale in PPP mode are first-of-its-kind and complex in nature, and require detailed techno-financial feasibility studies and statutory clearances from urban/local bodies etc. Therefore, no time frame can be indicated at this stage," Goyal told the House.
